the question is why do you want to switch over to an 02 cluster?

if all u want to do is switch the cluster bezel, then its really plug n play.

however if u are trying to do what i did, which was to switch the speedo over because you want the KM/H the dominant lettering over the mph, then you have to take part the gauge to the point that u unscrew the speedo gauge itself. this requires you remove the needle, so thus recalibrating it is tricky unless you have something to compare it with (i used my gps)

98-00 differ from 01-05 in its pure electronics.

however, physically, and by pure looks, they are identical.

so to answer, will it fit? yes, but will it work? no.


from my understanding, the 01-05 run on a dual staged airbag system. this triggered the error i got when i plugged in the 01 cluster. also, some hand brake/foot brake/parking brake issue also triggered the hand brake/foot brake/parking brake warning light.

well then the issue is, will ur airbag work? because the cluster will detect there is an airbag error. i donno if that is just detecting there is an error and the airbag still works, or it actually means the airbag will stop working.
