Default Installing JDM Type R Cluster into 95 LS

I want to buy the JDM Type R gauge cluster for my 95 LS. Does it matter if it came out of a 96 or 98 spec? Will all the wiring be the same. Like will it just be like swapping the a cluster. Thanks

Negative, Ghostrider.
Wiring changes will make this cluster swap [nearly] impossible.

get the 96 and switch the green sheets or else there is some repinning involved. if you are lucky you can get the cut harnesses from the 96 and just wire them in

you can always swap out the guages and carbon fiber outlay in the JDM unit, and put them in your stock unit.

I have just heard that the obd2 units will make wierd lights come on, and your fuel and temp needles will probobly start reading incorrectly.

but its not impossible, just a few more steps. good luck

This is the best route to go...I did this on mine when I got a 97 JDM ITR cluster without the airbag plug.

How do you swap them? Do they just pull off or what? I dont really care about the carbon fiber. Just the gauges and needles.
Thanks

No sorry...but i could show you pics of it installed but that will not really help. Basically look at the clusters and you can easily see how the plasit pieces come off from their tabs. Then the actual guages are held into the cluster by screws you can see at the back over the green film.

behind the cluster there are like screws holding the guages in place. one by one, unscrew them. I think its like 2 or 3 for each guage. You need a skinny long phillips. and then its just the matter of swapping the guages (and carbon fiber piece if you want) onto your old unit.
