Sweet, I was actually going to do a DIY for this. I did this to my cluster but have another GS-R cluster I'm going to do it to. I'm a ricer and have blue L.E.D.'s so I'm pretty much stuck with white needles, oh well. Looks good.

will the needles still be accurate after taking them off?

when I did mine before (without reading any article), I had to use my GPS for the speed (driving 40km/h according to my gps and putting the needle in on the 40 mark), knew my car idles at 750rpm after warm, so stuck it there, waited until my gas light turned on and stuck the gas one one, and then just put the temp one at the catch arm, it seems to auto correct itself.

I would suggest avoiding doing it that way. It was not the most fun way to do it. But they all work and are pretty spot on so it's really up to you.

ywah. to correctly put the needles back on, while the car is cold, put the needle at the resting point, fill the gas tank and put the needle on full's resting point, let the car idle and put it where it was idling before, remember how fast you go at a certain rpm and gear and stick the mph needle on.

hey nico, you should use spread led's instead of the directional ones so itll light up better
