How accurate do you need them to be?
The only calibrations on them are the low, mid, and high range of what your car is doing. You can tell if the engine is getting good oil pressure, the transmission temp, engine oil temp, and volts. It's useful for everyday driving, but if you're trying to determine the exact voltage draw, maybe not... |

I guess reliable would be a better word than accurate ....... I just want to make sure the gauges I get I can rely on, I'm comming from a fully modded diesel with gauges for everything and the factory gauges were unreliable

They give enough feedback to let you know what is going on. IMO they fit with the car too and don't stick out like a sore thumb but I always get the "wow" factor from people who come into the car

Can the gauge cluster be installed in my LS without to much hassle?

You will definitely be happier with the OEM gauges in my opinion. It is the retro look but to each there own. Mine are acurate but came with my 2LT installed and love the look.
