Now we modify the part where the needle body will be passing so it will look like the pictures above. If this is not done the needle will get stuck when it moves so be careful.
Put everything back to the cluster, the JDM housing and the modified USDM cover. It should look something like the images below.
Now we need to splice the USDM harness and take the JDM plugs and wire them by the same color each one. You will need to extend the wires since the plugs now have switched sides.
Notice the difference between the two housings and the plugs
Almost done! Now take your new cluster and plug everything up to see if it lights up. If it doesn't check your wiring. You did something wrong.
Now that it lights up, everything works all right, its time to stuff it back in the dash. You may have a little bit of trouble but it's going to go in don't worry. Put the top part in first and then the bottom one. You will notice that it won't bolt up to the original position but without the bolts it should stay there nice and firm.
Put everything back on the dash, clean it, and enjoy! |
