100? youre kidding me.. i thought i was getting a deal on the cluster when i bought it for $80.. dammit. carson sells the whole setup for $160.

Here is a pic of the upgrade!


Like I said earlier in this thread it's all cosmetic! The reason I purchased it was it matched the outside color of my car and it flowed with the EDFC/ Lexus(e-bay) pedals and it was an upgrade mod!

I was a little dissapointed after purchasing the upgrade as well, but went on ahead and purchased the harness. It's a little exspensive for such a small item but,that's how they get ya! It's worth the money!

hey guys.. would anyone that did the swap happen to know if the harness clips/plugs are the same for both models of the cluster? is it just the wiring that needs to be extended because the blinker positioning moves? if its the same plugs id almost just like to have my eletronics guy extend the wires. worst case scenario it doesnt work out and i just buy the new setup anyway.

If I'm not mistaken the signal plugs on the new harness is larger than the old harness plugs!(This was the problem!) The wires are the same I believe?

The plugs on the new harness wouldn't fit into the designed signal position slots?
