Silver Instrument Cluster

Hi All

I have a 2001 Maxima SE with instrument cluster gages that are silver in color with black numbers. There are photos of other 2001 Maximas on this site with gages that are black in color with white marksings. I did a Google search but all that came up was replacement instrument clusters for sale and directions on replacing gages. What if any is the difference in these cars?

I think you have an anniversary edition and the non-anniversary edition have the black dials.

I replaced my cluster last year due to speedometer failing on the original. GLE and GXE are black with white numbers. SE has the special one.

Here is my old one (GLE) http://s346.photobucket.com/user/fla...cia5e.jpg.html

And here is my replacement (SE) http://s346.photobucket.com/user/fla...acarg.jpg.html

Does the second one look about right? I believe all 00-01' SE's have those.

Thanks for the response, but according to this link I do not have an anniversary edition as I have none of the other features. Maybe someone before me switched the gages out.

Yes the white face gauges are the SE trim only.
