Does it actually?? I’ve never heard of that before. As for the needles, it took about 3 weeks for arrive (kinda slow…). And installing them was a bitch to some extent because you have to pull the needles out w/o breaking the cluster. I ended up breaking my first one and had to get another and switch and odometer ect.the instructions told me to twist the needle off slowly so as to not pull the metal attached to the needle. only problem is the clock peg is blocking you from twisting the needle off. So, I ended up cutting the clock peg to get the needle off and then replacing the clock with one from my old broken cluster. heh
