How to change a 3Gen GX cluster to a B4 cluster

  Top of Page

Hey guys, I've just spent the last hour researching this.

My first option was to just change the bulbs to white ones before the instrument cluster and behind the A/C buttons/dials etc. I since have read that the actual number on the cluster are tinted green and this makes it virtually impossible to get the lights white.

The next option is to change the cluster from the standard GX one, to a B4 cluster.

I am able to source a JDM Legacy cluster (with the plugs!) and I'm wondering if it is possible to switch the clusters over?

I know the plugs are different with the B4 cluster and the standard GX one, but if I had a wiring diagram I could possibly wire it all up to the matching wires?

Thanks in advance for any help smile

Here is the cluster I have the option to buy - Any way to tell whether the backlighting will be the standard green or the B4 white looking one from this photo?

That cluster will be Green, the white back lite B4 clusters have a tinted front plastic glass. Also you will need the B4 plugs and change wiring around....but if you have the diagram its doable yes

Btw that is and early JDM B4 cluster...

Hope that helps

Edit: wire colors will be different similar but different ie: one might be yellow and red and the b4 jdm might be yellow and blue

Oh bugger, I guess it just may not be worth it, seems to be really hard to find a B4 cluster with the plugs!

I just hate the green so much and I'm not all too keen on going red or blue (do-able with the green writing)

Hmmmm decision! Any other recommendations?
