Default LS400 cluster needle

So my MPH needle started flickering, so added some grease. Worked for awhile but it's now completely dead. So my question is can I just replace the needle? Mine is a 93, will needles from 90-92 work? I'ved pulled needles from early SC400's pretty easily. Not sure if the process is same for LS's

Hi, Tanin Auto Electronix here. We are vendors on the site and want to offer some assistance.

The needles on your specific cluster are very delicate, and removing just needles can cause more harm than good. The needles and motor are one unit.

The needles could need to be refurbished, but the motors may also need to be replaced. It is a repair that would need to be sent in to us for, so that diagnostics could be run and repairs made. If it is just the lighting needing to be repaired, we can do that as well.

Here is the link to our LS400 Gauge Cluster Repair Service:

Let us know if you have any questions at all. We just want to help you out so that you don't end up needing a whole new cluster. PM us anytime as well!

Thanks,

try tapping on the top of your cluster cover next time your car is on, see if that makes the needles work

The needles on my 1996 ls400 just started going bad, first the tach and then the speedo. I too would like to know if the 90-94's would work on a 1996. I see planty of 91's around here at the pick/pull but no 95 to 97's.
