Will '79 Triple Gauges Work?

I am looking at some '79ZX dash gauges - oil, volts and clock. Will these fit in an '83ZX? I need to replace my clock and was thinking an extra set with a good wiring board on the back, would be handy in case mine messed up. Thanks for any help.

The only differences in the non-turbo triple gauges, are the analog or digital clock (analong clocks came on the base model), and the green backlight bulbs if it came from a digital dash.

I've got the green bulb covers from the digital car. I'm not using any covers on my setup. So I've got a set of green for the F.U. gauges and a set of orange for the whole dash. You can pick up bulb covers at most auto parts stores. But if you want the F.U. covers you can have em.
