Default guage cluster help

Hey guys I searched this all of through google and club lexus, but came up nothing.. I went to the junkyard and pulled some needles off of an sc400 and first of all can I just replace my original ones?

Also, Is there a link someone can send me directing me how I could get inside the gauge cluster?

Happy Holidays

They are only compatible between certain years as well. My 95 needles don't work in my 93 - the polarity is reversed.

I got some out of a 1993 and i have a 1992, so i'm pretty sure it will work.. I had a little trouble with the rpm needle, I'm still not 100% on it, but the temp needle and speed needle plugged in fine. and my gas guage is still working, so I didn't replace it.

Thank you Benstoked, for giving me that link it solved my whole problem! now the test! wish me luck!

You bought used dead needles like most everyone else buying used needles does.

Emilio,

Please stop creating new threads for the same exact topic. This is the third time today I've had to merge them together in four hours.
