Default I think i'm an Idiot !!!!

Well, I changed my gauge cluster tonight but I took a slightly different route, I took the whole thing apart and then thought it might be easier to remove the needles instead of sanding (if you have a door trim tool it works good for needle removal) but now none of my gauges work right....speedo sez I'm doing way faster than I am, tach is probably correct, temp is about half of what it usually is and fuel hasn't moved....I know on other cars that you can reset the gauges or they reset themselves when power is applied is this true on subaru's or am I buying new a gauge cluster? Any help would be appreciated

Just buy a new cluster.
