Getting a new cluster will save you the headache of having to explain the situation and will give you a clean slate to install the gauges on.

If I'm not mistaken you don't have to take the needles off in a imported car, only on domestics. My instructions said jus tto bend the needle back and then insert the gauges over it. THey said not to take off the needle unless it was domestic. But guess its too late for that
