I like to know how you got that to work. Because the Digital ODM requires Extra wiring that comes from the ECU.

everyone works we still haven't set the mileage just need to let it touch a constant 12v source til it scrolls to my original miles pics will be up soon. i don't have Over Drive so that doesn't matter. alot of color matching to get it to work

is every wire the same color on both? or were there was ones that were not the same and guesswork is needed... did you accidentally cross the wrong wires? wondering if that screws anything up, also did you soder or just clamp them together?

to tell you the truth it's not that hard all the wiring is marked on teh back of both boards and then you just connect the wiring alot of them are the same color. the lights and everything dim like stock. i have a 99 digital black cluster if anyone is interested

Looks good. Does the odometer/trip odometer function properly ? Nice job if you get it all to work properly.

bump b/c this ? gets asked quite a bit

IMO '95-'96 SE needles on a '98/'99 cluster would look sweet!

really how the heck is this possible ?? I thought the mileage was stored in the ECU a feature that is not available in 95/96 ecu. Man explain this to me like I am 2 years old....your 99 cluster was plug and play with your 96 max after the dealer calibrated it?

I am with you man. Who cares about a digital odometer. I like the white face with the white needle look much better. What is so great about the 99 SEL gauages? aren't they silver? wow

yeah i like the old school analogue style. I especially like the white needles too. its definately an impressive mod if you can get the mileage to read accuratly. i always thought the milege for the the new style was stored in the ECU
