Does anyone know anything about swapping out my 08's gauge cluster for the JDM one? I'd really love to have that orange look. I'm not sure where to pick one up or what all is involved in the swap itself.

 

hey man, i got lucky with finding my gauge cluster but im sure ben from aj racing can get you one, or if you are ever in japan, you can find one for cheap. there is wiring of the harnesses involved but im not sure of what they are. ive been waiting on ben to send me the jdm and usdm wiring diagram so i can cross reference it and get it hooked up and running.

 

Sweet man, when you get it all up and working PM with how to do it so I can start looking into it. Also, how much did it set you back?

 

i got hooked up. i was in the right place at the right time and i got mine for 100 bucks. expect a new one to be between $200 and $500 tho.

 

Can we get this moved to fit inside? Sorry, I just saw interior and exterior lighting and put it there on accident hahah.

 

I might actually be in japan later this year. Might have to pick one up

 

go to up garage. they have all sorts of good jdm parts in there.

 

not sure what that is but i'll be on the lookout

 

check out the vid. its worth finding.

YouTube - Up Garage - New & Used auto parts super store

 

Yeah i'd seen that video once before. Awesome stuff. Its like a pawn shop for car parts. Like a JDM wet dream. Like well its awesome. Definitly worth going in a checking out

 

What if you opened up both clusters, and swapped parts over from one to the other? There has to be an easier way to use the JDM cluster rather then to rewire everything.

 

nope. that doesnt work. i was originally going to just use the overlay and the tinted lenses but the needles are attached by a calibrating copper coil. snap that off and the gauges are ruined. the only way to do this is to rewire the harnesses.

 

man. that sucks. But its gonna be pimp when you do it
