They go for around $100 on eBay. Up to you if you think it's worth the hassle to fix the needle and resell it.

well here is the thing. i have mine that works perfect except of course the RPM needle. I was looking for a replacement. My thought was buy one and have it fixed swap it out and then sell mine. recoup some of the funds in doing this so that way mine would work with no problems on the LED. or should i just pay someone to fix mine. prob is i cant find anyone out here in Phx.

Hi, Tanin Auto here. We can help offer some assistance. Does the gauge work or is the needle just not lit up on your cluster?

Hi, Tanin Auto Electronix here! We have figured out a way to restore the needles' lighting and though we can't give away our trade secrets, we can assure you that it is possible to correct them.

Well, we are vendors on here but we also try to help people with issues when possible. We had just asked the questions to try to understand what their cluster issues are. If you are having needle flickering issues, we are happy to help out. But if something is a trade secret, we can't give details on how exactly the work is done.

Just buy the cluster and take the working needle off and put it on yours they are both interchangeable, that's what I did. Probably the easiest and quickest solution for your problem.
