04+ GP Gauge Needle Swap?

Post by Benvw99 »

So next weekend Im going to a giant junkyard with my grandpa to get some parts for my cousin's GP. I was wondering if the needles from the 04+ GP would swap into my 05 SLE? i think they would look cool in my car. If they would swap, would they need any modifications to fit in there. I heard something about putting Aztek needles in there too, but i didnt know which one would be the better option. I know if i took one out of a Grand Prix that i would need at least 2 cars because GP's only have 4 gauges and my car has 6. Thanks for the help!

You wouldn't happen to know anyone who has done it would you?

I did it. You cannot use the Grand prix needles. You have to use Aztek Needles because of the length of the post that holds it on to the stepper motor
