Does anyone know if i order a 05/06 clear lens with the hole already on the right size if it will fit in the 03 cluster? That way i dont have hole on the left side from the old cluster.

 

help, how to take off the speed, Gas, Temperature, and RPM indicators??

im so scarred to pull them out cause they look like so delicate and easy to broken.

 

So i took this project on and have completed. One improvement i made was i was able to make the 05 lens fit on the 03 housing. That way you dont just have a random hole on the other side. Here is where i have it posted. http://bamagz.com/forums/showthread....-Build&p=42916

 

Looks sweet! What did you do to the 05 lens to make it fit?

 

I had to trim it up and then just glue it to the bezel.

 

Oh snap I think I found a new project!

 

I would luv to get this done!!

 

I'm going to swap all the led's on mine before I install it. Want to go with red and some white.

 

This thread should be stickied

 

Interesting to hear about the Key programming issue after swap.
I'm about to start doing the wiring harness for the swap.

 

Okay sorry to possibly revive this from the dead. I have read it over about 3 times. Did you all figure out if it really matters if you buy a manual or automatic cluster? I know Navi or non navi dont matter. I have a 6 speed manual. Also I understand most of what needs to be done I believe. Basically I need 2 harnesses one from the 05 and one from the 03. Re wire and splice and then its plug and play correct? Can someone PM me with detailed instructions. I think I understand it but then I dont haha. Also what happens if I get an 07 or an 08?

 

^ If you have a MT, you'll def want to purchase a MT cluster. Why? Not b/c it won't work with an AT cluster, but 1st - it doesn't look right. The AT cluster will show you in "P" (park) probably the entire time you're driving or whatever...2nd - the MT cluster has a sweet REV Shift Light you can set. I set mine to trigger at 4,500rpm. When I reach that rpm, a amber square light "flashes" - notifying me to shift. I personally think it's pretty slick.

If you don't care about all of the above, get either a MT or AT - whichever you can get for the cheapest price point on ebay.

Thanks Guys!

Ya the cheapest manual on I have found so far is 350. With no pigtails. So Im just kind of waiting I guess.
