Yea the Essky and Tahoe one are the exact same bud.. The only difference is the color,120,needles... i took the old good gas gauge out of my tahoe cluster and put it in my essky cluster and it works perfect! actually a lot better too. This one doesn't move now when i go around corners and shit.. it worked perrrrfect.. easy swap.. if anyone wants to try PM me and ill shoot you over the exact directions..

Are the bulbs soldered into those twist-lock sockets? Or is it just the small idiot light bulbs that are soldered?

They might be either one. On the ones that are soldered you will know right away that they are when you go and try to pull the bulb out, it will not budge at all. If you still are not unsure look at the twist lock, should say "Replace Entire Assembly". Last but not least, the back of the twist lock will have a opening parallel to it so you are able to see the bulb and its tails, and where they are soldered into place.

You can still get the twist lock to work if the bulbs are soldered in, you will just have to break the bulb out of there and get rid of the bulbs tails.
