I just hate the background color on my 2003 OEM old style SPEEDOMETER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, and think that the 99-01 ones w/ black background color looks ok. so can anyone tell me if it fits on my car? And you can see the price is very low and is it a good idea to replace it with my OEM one?
thank you

it can be replaced. there are a few people here that have done it. drybear is one that comes to mind.

another thing you can do is just get some new aftermarket gauge faces and with the old style bezel achieve a similar look while keeping your current cluster.

:lol: yeah, you can use the 99-01 cluster in the 02-03, but the warning lights on the left side are in all different places. I had to print up a custom cover onto a transparency sheet to replace the ones on the gauges:

NOTE: the bottom black strip goes on top of the strip that has the icons/wording, so that they get blacked out when off. They light up fine still. Could alternately use a scrap of tint film.

Am in the process of reworking them:

I have them is Photoshop PSD format set at the correct size for printing - send me a PM if you need it.
