    That's for all the replies guys. I'm pretty excited to start this little task, hopefully it's not too hard.

    There's a YouTube video somewhere, that's how I did mine. Hardest part was getting the needles in the right spot since they rise a tad bit when plugged back in

    It's all good bro, thank you though.
    Im gonna buy the lights and follow the YouTube video. Hopefully I don't mess anything up. I'll probably pick up a solder gun on Amazon.

    One thing I didn't know is that if some lights aren't working when you try to test it I might just be because all of the other lights need to be in place for a certain area. There was 3 lights for the center needle, I took them all off then put 1 light in place, when I tried the one light it wouldn't work until all 3 were on because the current needed all of them to work. Not sure if you knew just trying to save you time and frustration. Also a smaller soldering tip would have saved me time. The one I had was the size and shape of a pencil eraser, very hard to get in place

    If you can get the gauge out and apart all you need is the soldering iron and tweezers. Just follow the video best you can and make sure you get the needles in perfectly before putting it all back together
