RowOSU Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 This has been a topic that seems to come up on other vehicle boards I am a member of, but is there any way to put the new(99.5+) gauge cluster into the 96-99? i.e. will it plug directly in, or is a wire splice necessary? Furthermore, is there any way to crank up the miles on a digital odo so they match the miles on my analog? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 what are the other boards saying??? otherwise youve got the chance to do some pioneering work i would go about it by firstly looking at the back of both of them, see if they are the same with the same plugs then see what wires lie where, a electical diagram would definetly help sorry not much help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowOSU Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share Posted May 19, 2004 Well unfortunately the other boards were for my other car... I have done a cluster swap before (75 camaro) but never on one so new. I would love to have the white face gauges that came with the newer models, so I will give it a shot, and let you know the results. Looks like its time for the haynes schematics.........

sw Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I would love to have the white face gauges that came with the newer models dito, im about half way through modifing my existing instrament cluster (well i wanted black with white numbering to which im adding blue leds, it was standard with black & orange numbering). Very Very ricey............ but hay ive always wanted white numbering with blue back lighting ive come up with a design im happy with and have done the speedo side of things when ive got some more spare time i will do the tacho side & then post some pics have you thought of modifing you existing instrament cluster?

RowOSU Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share Posted May 19, 2004 yea, I have considered that. I was looking at the faces offered by Import Intelligence, kinda plain, but apparantly fit pretty well. I also saw a website on making your own faces, will look into that too. I was just asking about the newer cluster because the guy who is selling me my tail lights said he would throw it in for free. When i get it I will check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightRyder Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 i have the white faces from import intelligence and they look good, just make sure they get put on right and they fit perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sw Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 with the camera flash on you can see its now black and white rather than the early 90's black and orange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iLUVmySH Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 hehe this is what i did you should try this.. get a brighter led or bulb or what not and put some cotton balls (spaced out) around the back of the gauge.. it will help disperse the light better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
