 did you get a gauge LED swap done or did you buy the gauges from someone with similar mileage (which is illegal i believe). if you got the swap done on your gauge cluster, from whom did you get it done from?

 are the needles sticking or does the gauge no work anymore? maybe you pushed the needles on to tightly and now they're sticking

 Yeah, if you only swapped the faces, then I agree with andino on the needles being too tight. Just swapping the faces shouldn't have given you an opportunity to damage the electrical components, but I'm no expert on gauges. Squallheart would be a good person to ask. He's done tons of LED swaps.

 if you just changed the gauge faces it should just be the needle . The faces shouldnt affect anything else .

 if you haven't touched anything electrical.. i can't see any other reason for your gauges to not be functioning properly except for the needles being on too tight..

i dunno what else it could be..
