I think with these, you have to remove the needles, which is a hassle and has a pretty high risk of busting.

Don't quote me though.

Its not hard at all....take the cover off the tach and carfully move all ur needles up and take that and slide it down...move the needles back center it and put the cover back on...then wire it up...thats how i did it anyway i thought it was hard but was super easy just have to be carefull and take ur time...

I though 03+ you could not remove them? And if I spliced into the the headlight wire would that be to much voltage for the wire?

you dont take off the needles you just adjust them up and slide the needles through the holes down then readjust them to the original direction

This, the overlay is flexible and you slip the overlay over the needles and slide it down to install it. No needle removal, I just sold my old cluster with an overlay like this... I liked it, just liked black cat's gauge conversion better...

And too much voltage for the wire? Wire is not rated for voltage aside from breakdown voltage... and the only place you would see voltage high enough to reach breakdown of the wire insulation is the ignition system. What your thinking of is amperage which is why you size wire based on the load you are installing...This has a wiring harness and will not pull more than a few milliamps... not a concern... wire it into the headlight circuit it will be fine.

ok thus is really helping. put if i move the the needles will they reset when i plug them back in or do i have to do it myself?

They will auto reset when you plug them back into the car... I usually just move them back down to their stops... personal preference.

Point needles up, slide gauge over needles. Takes 2 mins. I recolored my needles too for added effect.

I just installed mine today. Only issue I had was the holes where too small. It was a tight fit. It peeled up towards the needle stopping the needle from moving back down. So I had to compress it down with a key or pen.
