Anyone tried FD instrument needles in FC?

Do they fit? I want backlit needles, but as you know, FC ones are front/under lit, which imo, is UGLY.

Does anyone know if the FD needles fit the pin on the FC? I know the FC rpm-gauge is bigger than the speedo, but it will look better (especially when I am planning to make new faces, black with white, so I can get white needles, red numbers.

Also, does the S5 front and faces fit the S4 back so I get the S5 look but the cluster electrically stays the same?

Miata got the same size on both big gauges I'm afraid. I will check Supra, they might have something Mk3 and 4, I think 4 got red needles.
