Switching out the gauges (04 for 05)

Switching out the gauges, is it possible? If I have a 2004 and I want the 2005 gauge, is there like wires that control the needles that I could just switch? All I really wanna do is change the place of the speedometer and RPM gauge, they are backwards in the 2004 for some reason.

It isn't a simple plug and play swap, but it has been done. Search and you'll find the long post about it. I don't remember where it is.

Yea I looked at it more and just to buy the 05 gauges is 800

I thought you could just swap out the faceplate or whatever and switch the wiring to change the speedometer to RPM
