I perseonally dont know of any that doesnt require the removal of the needles. Sucks, but thats what everyone i know has had to do. Take your time and you should be fine.

good luck.

The ones at ebay are just fine. My friend and yours Henry has them and they are perfect. And a great price too!

Well, you have to carefully make sure that you dont break them. Make sure that your have an EXACT writen down measurement on where the needles were before u pulled them off. When i did mine, you Dont have to pull off ALL of them, but most of them in order to get it to fit. Then u can just slide it in and use a lil tape to make it stick to the back of it. Wire it, basic wiring and you should be all set. Like i said, if u take your time, its a fairly easy job. Just be carefully and you'll be ok.

Just replace the 194-Type bulbs in your dash with 194-type LEDS of whatever color you want.

Lightbulb You have got to be Kidding!

You cant mean to tell me all you guys dont know how to install these gauges! So you pull of your needles and screw your dash up? For anyone interested, once you have your gauges out and disasembled. Start with the two long needles first - once the gauge kit is over them then slide it over the two small needle on one side being careful not to bend the kit too much - once you have it over them go on to the last two small needles and your done! No need to screw up the accuracy of your gauges by pulling off the needles!

I followed the above instructions to a 't' and still broke one of my needles. Do what cheese said and the accuracy should be fine, and most of the guages are self calibrating also.

Hey...if anyone wants a set of those G2 reverse indiglo guages that JxxxOxxxE has, I have a spare kit still new in the box that I'll sell. I somehow ended up with 2 sets, and only needed one. Just PM me.
