has anyone out there ever changed out the guage cluster in a xj classic which only has the speedometer,oil light,batt light, and the big fuel guage to the guage cluster in the picture. I was wondering because i like that cluster better, and would like to be able to see oil presure and batt volts guage. If anyone has done this swap let me know what extra is needed if anything?

All you need is the cluster, and the oil pressure sending unit, and the temp sending unit on the back of the head. Just make sure cluster is from same vintage...renix or HO. Ive got a few clusters for sale if you need one.

I did this last year in my 98 SE, it was all just plug in. On my 98 the Oil and temp sending units were the same for both dash clusters. I would check to make sure to test the dash lighttbulbs before installing the dash.
