I searched but didn't find anything specific to this.

So the other day i was swapping out clusters and i noticed on the back it had the P R N D 2 1 that the 5th gen's have. I thought it be pretty cool if i could have it too. as pictured below



even the black cover has the outline to be dremeled out with no possibility of screw up.



I went and got the 5th gen cover and it was a direct fit...



But i got no light to shine through the bulbs as can be seen here



So i was wondering if anyone out there has done this before or has any idea how to get this to work because evrything seems to be in order back there.

mucho thank you's!

Basically, no wiring exists to illuminate the bulbs. You'd have to rig something up yourself. Not that 'crazy' of an idea, it was discussed at least 7 years ago in this forum.

 

I was gonna say...search harder. A couple people have tried to do this and I think they found out its alot of FSM reading and wiring. Im not sure though cause Ive never read into it since i have a 5spd.

 

Its been done...too much work for no reason IMO

 

^^^ what he said

 

Wow. My biggest issue was that I couldn't find the PRND21 film thing to fit, now that I know the 5th gen one fits, Im down. If you're willing to sell that one, or find me another one, Ill crack into this and get a writeup done...

 

just pm me an addy and i'll just send it

 

Who did it? To my knowledge, it's never been done, only discussed.

 

i got a bigger project for ya.

 

sent

Say what?

 

pm on its way

 

good god man, thats a tough one. I am dling the 01 fsm right now.

 

lol told you!

 

Need to get the 98 fsm as well, Ive only got the 97 lol.

 

look up in the stikies or pmhor's sig. pm me when you got it.

 

personally, i hate those displays, one of best things i love about 4th gens. those things are for girls who cant feel how many clicks it takes to go into D, R , or where P is.

 

Because...girls are bad at mathematics now? I wasn't aware that a woman couldn't count 3 down into Drive

And it's not necessarily about getting into a gear, it's knowing where the shift lever is at all times.

 

i was being sarcastic, but thats just my 2cents.

 

The '97 FSM shows no trace of the PRND21 lights, circuitry, or anything on the cluster. What gives?

 

Again, there's no wiring for them at all in the USDM A32; no reason for there to be information in the FSM.

 

A32 cefiros have the PRND21 lights stock.

 

Well there ya go, time to D/L an A32 Cefiro FSM instead of USDM A32 Maxima FSM
