Messed up temp gauge

I recently purchased glow gauges but the install was not that easy. I ended up taking it off because I did not find a thin enough double sided tape so it prevent my need fro moving.

But anyways In the process of taking out the gauges I accidently pop off my temp. gauge and now it will not work. Any fixes. Can I buy a differnt gauge clust and just take out my messed up temp gauge and swapp it with the good one?

Very hard. Virtually no fix unless you go to the "sdealer".

This is a great deal! Benzo555 is one of the best sellers I've experienced! You'll have your gauges in no time if you purchase from him!

been driving around with no temp gauge, not a big problem, but my mechanic says I need to keep an eye on it so I will probably take up benzo's offer and replace it with my broken temp gauge. This will solve it right?
