the 98+ odo has so many more things on it than the pre 98 so you couldnt change them... or maybe you can... i know to get rid of the ugly orange, you just need to change the bulbs.. i know the 92-93 doesnt have an outside temp. thing... What do you mean about trip computer??? you mean instead of the little box, it has a long line with all the info??? heres a pic.. hold on. here is mine...
the post. pic isnt working, and hasnt worked for the past 2 months... something is ****ed up with AOL...

Ok...hmmm, Lex, did you notice what KIND of bulbs they were? I mean were they soldered on there or socketed?
Eh, sounds like a DIY project...wonder if I could get some of those super bright mini LED's back there...

yeah, i know what your talkin bout... i took a pic of my scs dash before it got wrecked, and im tryin to upload the pic, but it doesnt work for those of you who dont know what it looks like...
btw, a 97+=98 dash will not work on a pre sc... for numerous reasons.

Bah, that's more work than I'm willing to do for a new instrument cluster! Thanks for the reply though

Maybe. Like I said, I don't know what's involved. If there are digital signals being fed to the newer cluster, then you'd have to reverse engineer the signals, then build a box to replicate those signals which would cost WAY WAY more than $1k.
