Did the swap. Pretty easy. One issue. The door open light is on. I did check the doors by opening and closing them. The light inside does go on and off.

Except for rear doors and rear hatch. The ones who did this swap, did you have this issue and does your rear latch have a button for lights?

Stuck and need some help.

Thanks

Update: I did reset the cluster. Didn't remove trunk lid open light.

My only thought is since the "sport" doesn't have the option, to remove the bulb?

Curious, the ones who did the swap, did you have the Sport or Larado?

yeah, good idea removing the bulb. on the older clusters there are similar options like that as well, when i did the swap i just duplicated the lights from one cluster to another so i didn't have any surprise lights that i didn't before

I should have done the same. My bad. It's great to see the guages working from oil psi, battery, to coolant temp. Much better!

Just did the gauge swap in my 98 with a cluster from a 2000 sport. White faced the gauges before i installed them. $20 well spent. Used Christmas lights to set the overlays on. the easiest gauge install I've ever done!

Whitegauges.net $20 for overlays and 5 for install kit, but that is just a razor, spray bottle of soapy water and a squeegee.
