Default 2011+ Cluster Swap on 08 IS-F Complete!!!

Hey Whats up guys. It's been a while since I posted here. But the time has come and I finally was able to source a 2011-2014 cluster off a wrecked IS-F for dirt cheap! Below is the video of the install and find out what happens...

Very Nice Mod. Guess it comes down to personal preference, but I prefer the older cluster

Nice Job!

Wow! Nicely done!

Shame there aren’t many late models in the UK, let alone ones I could pinch the cluster off!

My 2008 doesn’t come with the TPMS option, so that part would be an issue if I bought one from the States I’m guessing? Unless I also grab the sensors from each wheel? Wonder what else you need to make that work??

All I know is you got me thinking bro! Love this mod.

Out of interest, who and how will you get it programmed by to display your 2008 mileage? Is that something Lexus dealers could do? Obviously can’t be an easy job, as you’d have guys clocking their mileage?!

Certainly going to keep my eyes peeled for any late model breakers over here.

Thanks for sharing and taking the leap of faith it would work! Congrats!

What else you got planned then?!

Hey Thanks! If you do not have tpms, it should not be an issue. It just wont light up (if it does, remove the bulb from the cluster). It's plug and play no modifications to the harness. I am pretty sure all IS-F from different countries have the same wiring.

My local Dealer Can program it. I spoke to my SA about this and he can do it. If your local Lexus Dealer cant, there's a vendor here (not sure if they are still active) but they offer this service for the correct odometer reading.

Beautiful work, video and explanation.

Looks like a direct plug N play.

Thanks alot! Sure was. No issues whatsoever. One Thing I noticed is that the 2008 Cluster has the battery voltage while this one does not. I guess you loose that feature when you upgrade

^^^^Yep, the voltmeter is gone. I would miss that a lot. I still miss the non-existent oil pressure gauge.

That is pretty cool. I always wondered how hard it would be to switch gauges. Great job!

Btw does the digital speedo change from MPH to KPH when you hold down the trip rest button?
