I was just wondering if any of you guys ever did an instrument cluster swap

my car does not have a Tachometer and it would be nice to have a gauge to see them moving .

I switched mine with one from CFM. http://www.c-f-m.com

Its alright but some of the light shines through.

There are others out there. Check the sponsors on Focaljet.com.

yeah i had done that in the past. you just have to make sure the following.

1- your cluster millage has to be the same as the donor cluster. millage from the car will not carry over to the new cluster unless you take it to yhe dealership and pay lot of money.
2- make sure you get the closest one to your current one. ie. some clusters have ABS, traction lights in different places so make sure yours atleast matches those one.

Let me know of you have any other questions.

btw i read in focusfanatics that not all instrument cluster will work for a 2000 to 2004 SPI SE wagon, because there are different pins at the back

buy an aftermarket tach not a monster tach but a lil one will work just fine

i got it from autowreckers. good thing with wreckers is that they have bunch of them in stock so hopefully you can find one that is closest to your millage. [COLOR=blue]
