Series I to Series II gauge cluster
Couldn't find anything on this so here's my question: Is the series II gauge cluster compatible with a series I car? I believe I read that the manual and auto clusters are compatible with each other but I wasn't sure about this. I like the look of the series II cluster better than the series I. I tried doing this on my last car, A nissan, and although the harnesses are identical, the updated cluster on that car had a different pinout so it worked but I had no speedo and a bunch of random lights on. I wouldn't want to buy one and then find out this would have the same problem. Any ideas?

Personally I couldn't justify the price unless you already have a series II cluster it's about 800 for a new one (doubtful you will found one used). Plus you are losing your oil pressure gauge. Yeah you can get an aftermarket one but even though you might like how the series II cluster looks the series I is a better design in my opinion.

Just found the thread on his dimming cluster issues. Had to actually look him up by his user name and then found it. Reason I didn't find it before is that the thread isn't actually about swapping the clusters, it just happens to have the details in it. Thanks for the lead though
