Default rpm needle light

rpm needle light is out and looking at some old threads and saw a company that does repairs but is in wisconsin, another one is in sfo.. anybody know someone here in socal who can do the repair? saw a diy thread but pics are gone.. plus it's a liitle bit complicated with the soldering involved.. was hoping we could just buy the needle somewhere by now with all the burnt out lights reported.. that would be an easy diy fix

My previous car's owner told me he had this fixed with a recall at the dealership.

I would like to know this as well. I am experiencing the same thing and would love to know if there was someone in SoCal that provides a service to fix this.

Both of my needles are nearly completely burnt out. I'll be sending my cluster out for LED replacements sometime this winter.

If it's a matter of replacing LED's, you can DIY. You must be good with soldering/desoldering. I have done this may times on other cars.
