Default Aristo Needles out :(

So it looks like it's a common problem, can this be fixed? I saw some people where able to repair this but all my searches keep coming up empty handed other then one guy painting florescent paint on the needle.

Anyone have a fix to make the lights work again?

the polarity for aristo needs is opposite of the GS300 ones. just FYI.

lextech would be your best bet, just get them redone. i think i saw an add on here for them doing a group buy or something, since they're mainly been concentrating on ES and SC models. haev a look around, i think they're doing some special pricing, or a group buy, or something. i do believe it was a thread in here actually

I have some extra needles that I took off my GS before I modded my cluster, I'll sell the gas and temp needles(identical) for $20 each, shipped! These are for sure working as I tested them before I removed them.

As for the RPM and Speed needle, I forgot to test them before I removed them so i'm unsure if they are working or how well they are working. I'd sell both of them for $20, as is.

Install is as easy as pulling off your old needles and pushing these on. Should take you less than 15 minutes to remove the cluster from the car and install these needles.

Lextech has a set of 4 (temp, rpm, speed, gas) in different color options for 100$. Install is super easy.
