ok this is my last attempt because after this, until I learn more spanish I don't know how else to explain it :D
ok, notice the holes in the bezel. your saying on the 02-03 gauge cluster, that you could remove that entire blue piece and replace it with the bezel from a 99-01 with aftermarket gauges. now yes, the gauges, spedo, tach fuel etc would all work fine. but in the picture here where I have circled, thats where the turn signal idicator and the fog light indicators would be.
now if you go back to the picture i took of my 02-03 gauges, the indicators are actually cut from that entire piece that has the gauges in to it, so that a light comes on behind it and shines though. But now, with the new gauges and the 99-01 bezel, you no longer have anything there to create the turn signal indicator. You just have those 2 holes and you would just see, for instance a yellow light come on and off for your turn signal, instead of a turn signal indicator symbol.
does that make sense now?

Do you see the black plastic piece on top of the white GTZ cluster? That piece is called the bezel cover holder and it's only avaliable on the 99-01. The 02-03 model only has a rim cover. If you look where the turn signal are, that "screen" is part of the bezel, not the cover. So you can still use your 02-03 gauge with a 99-01 bezel cover. Not too hard to understand but it is confusing at first. Personally I like the blue housing with a black bezel.
If anything you just cut them out of your 02-03 one and glue them on the back of the bezel, simple. Put the bezel on, get a pencil and draw the in line. Take bezel off and cut on the outside of the in line. There you go.

g-spot: i think i understand what you were saying. but i was wanting to do aftermarket white gauge faces, but I currently have the 02 gauge cluster. oh well, i have a whole new cluster coming now and i think that will be the best choice imo :)

7g odo is not digital, its mechanical/electrical and is a pita to remove. Plus theres only one type of 7g clusters, so no real need to do it.
7g for life!
