if u got the gauge off the cluster just slide the face over the existing one. DONT BREAK THE NEEDLE OR U GOTTA BUY NEW GAUGES. VERY ANNOYING.

well i was also thinking of changing the needle or paiting it red so it would stand out. since it is white it might clash with the white faces... any ideas???

if you breathe heavy in the direction of the needle, IT'S GOING TO BREAK! do a search here and you'll find instructions - if not, i'll post some later

whatever you do, start with the temp or fuel gauge: the guage will be cheaper to replace. the speedo and rev needles are a bit stronger, but i've replaced THREE fuel guages doing this and still prolly have to get another.

THE NEEDLES DO NOT COME OFF. You have to work around them and be careful - the el gauges i had were supposed to line up right but i had to drill - this was not an easy mod

if u wanna paint the needles....then u should leave it on and just mask the back of it and spray the needles only....DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE NEEDLES!!!! to take it apart...i think u might need to take 2 screws and the rest are clips holding it together.
