I fitted a pair of lockwood items in my old 1.8 saff and they went yellow these wer eheld on bu some double sided tape if you can lift them off so far you should be able to cut them to get them over the needles.

Take a hairblower too soften the glue thing on the back side then gentle pull it off. Done it to mine and it all went fine. But only thing I would do better next time is mark the needles especially the temp and fuel ones.

Good luck!

Don't take the needles off cos they'll never go back right...have a word with Lockwood for the right removal procedure.
