You don't need to touch the needles. Bulbs are on the back. 5 min job including taking the gauges out.

Not really needed though. Allot of effort for little light gain.

The cluster looks good it's just a shame it's a dim glow, would be nice to give it some clarity... You know to bring it to the modern styling
