they are for the 95-97 Maxima in a few different color styles. $95 for the one's they have on the list. $130 for ones they have to make custom. + you have to send them your oem guage face first. takes about 3 weeks to get them back.

BEWARE!.....

I just put in guages on my 95 GLE and my speedo and fuel guage don't work now! I am paying 350 for two new OEM gauges. It is a 50/50 deal on the needles. They either come right off, or you pull the needle and the spring out....then you are screwed. Just be careful and be aware of the consequences!

How should I try to remove the needles?

I can't afford to F*&^ it up.....
How long does it take to swap it out? Can I leave the guages in or do I take the whole thing out?

Re: How should I try to remove the needles?

Well it didn't take long to remove the guages. 2 screws out and a little manuevering and the thing is out. I was told to use one spoon on either side for leverage. I tried that and it worked on the tach and temp, but not on the speedo and fuel. You have to remove the needles to replace the OEMs as far as I know. Good luck. If you find out how to do it, let me know. I might get brave and try again.....
