Default Blinking needles

ok sorry i searched but i couldn't find the exact answer i was looking for. First of all i just recently purchased a 92 sc300 and the tempature gauge needle does not work at all, and the lighting on that side is alot dimmer than the rest of the cluster. The Tach and speedo needle start to cut out and blink after about 2-3 minute of starting the car up. Now will replacing the tempeture needle fix all of the needles? or do i need to send my cluster out to http://www.lextech.org/ ? I am also wondering if I can replace the light buld in the cluster which causes the tempeture gauge + a small amount of the tach to not light up as bright as the rest of the cluster. It lights up but it is VERY dim, but it adjusts when i mess with the dimmer. Please help and dont flame to much.

you cannot do anything about the needles yourself, but you can replace the backlight with #24 bulbs.
