You cannot repair a broken needle...
All you can do is go buy another cluster :doh: !!!
... or you can get used to it :rolleyes: !!!

MUAHAHAHA I duped the shop into thinking that it broke on its own. So its covered by warrenty. NOW, can I pull the needles? I have a puller.

NO you cant !!!
you have to cut your reverse gauge for them to get on without breaking anything !!! There's an HOW-TO somewhere if you search a little :) !!!

Sweet. Thanks!

Naive question, perhaps, but can someone tell me how to get the panel out on this car? I'm not sure where all the screws are that I need to remove to get in there. With those reverse gauges, do you still get red numbers with a lit up background, or are the numbers black?

Thanks!

the gauges I have are the cheapo ebay ones. I just wanted a little custom look.. since Im not made of money! They cover the exsting gauges and the numbers glow a brilliant blue.

you have a pic of thos fiveseven?

Once I get them and put em in, ill put one up. I got a new set because it didnt come with an on off switch. Im putting a dimmer in the circut anyway, so I just let them send a new set. Not to mention the fact that I broke my damn fuel gauge on the first try.

WOO! They are in! With a little added... flare. Bad joke. Lemme go take pictures.
