man...
i don't know how peeps break the needles or make them not to work no more....
i just installed the NR gauge on my ride, and i was moving my needles here and there and press them against the gauges and stuff, but my needles are still there and working fine.
well only choice is that you buy the used gauge cluster from the junk yard or buy the gauge from
http://accordstore.com if your ride is 5th G.
good luck!
