How do you swap INSTRUMENT CLUSTERs
I have a jeep with just a fuel gauge and speedometer. I want to put in the one with all of the gauges. Can someone tell me how to do it.

I changed mine using the info I found in this thread http://www.jeepin.com/features/gaugeswap/index.shtml . You need the new cluster, oil temperature sending unit (to send to guages, not idiot lights) and coolant temp sending unit (to send to gauges). That all there is to it, just plug and play. It's real easy and took me about 10 mins to get the cluster and oil temp sending unit in. Took about 30 mins to get the old coolant temp sender out, had to hammer a socket on and took a little bit to get it to grab. It's made of brass and strips real easy.

believe me, i was super intimidated by the thought when i did mine but with the info on here it was a breeze! i had never done anything like it before but follow the link that the previous guy put up and youll be fine..make sure you check all the bulbs on the new cluster though before you put it in!

Paid someone.
But, it came back indigo and funky red. During the day it's just a set of white gauges but at night ... really sexy blue.
