    Bh legacy gauge cluster questions

    So, im about to swap the cracked lense on my 06 baja with a freshly polished lense from my 02 gt parts car. I noticed the gt needles are a nice orange compared to the faded yellow of the baja needles.
    Can the needles be swapped easily, or will this mess up the indexing/accuracy of the gauges?

    Also, the backlight on my odometer is burned out. Which bulb is it so i can swap it out?

    Baja needles are intentionally yellow against a slightly blue background, as opposed to the orange on black that the other cars got. Swapping just the needles is a tricky job to make sure that nothing gets damaged and everything is still aligned properly. You can swap the entire meter unit (each meter is a separate part behind the cover plate), and as long as the scales are the same (max speed and max RPM), then everything will line up fine.

    if you do this, I'd be interested in buying the Baja meters from you.

    Wait, there's a difference? I thought they were both 120mph speedometers.

    Pretty sure the Baja is a 140. I'll have to double check it when I get home. I looked at it last night and remember there being a difference in scale on the speedometer

    Oh, right, right. You have a turbo. That is a 140mph gauge.
