Hi

Does anyone know if an electronic gauge cluster like this :

is interchangeable with the regular one or is the wiring totally different.

Cheers
Agust

Mine was interchangable without any problems, standard wiring is the same. :)

I agree...I wanted one for mine too....

I think they have a lot more style to them than the dials...

not here to burst the bubble , but...
apparently a different body control module is needed for the elec gauges,
but it appears other members have done the swap no probs
good luck :beer

My car had digital dash, which i changed to an anoalog for the time being.. Standard plugs all fit i can't see it being any different the other way around.

Well... if the digital dash doesn't fit I will only loose 50 bucks, not that much :)
