you can buy a used oz cluster, but the milage will be different so get one as close to your milage as posible. I have not seen any aftermarket guages for the es or ls yet but you can buy differnt guage faces. good luck!

You can do it. The mileage is stored in the cluster, os you will need the dealership to transfer mileages from cluster to cluster.

check my profile on my vehicle. I got the reverse indiglow guages some time back for a little over 100$. I like them and If I want to go back to stock I could in about 15 min.

that cluster is beautiful and i'm half a mouse click away from buying it but before I commit myself I really want to ask a question ( no flamin.. i'm new )

do I just plop this thing over my old one? or is there some sort of wire voodoo I have to do before it works. Also, someone mentioned "You can do it. The mileage is stored in the cluster, os you will need the dealership to transfer mileages from cluster to cluster. "

i thought the mileage was stored in that little digital thinger UNDER the cluster (at least in my car it is...)

*so confused yet wanna buy it...*

it goes over your exisiting guage face. You need to connect two wires: one to the dimmer switch ground and the hot power source"yellow wire". Its not that hard, do a search "reverse indiglo"and you will see more detailed instructions. Hope this helps
