I was told that all you need is either a JDM cluster or a analog USDM one and the analog harness. I have both a USDM and a JDM one, and both harnesses and I sure as heck can't get either one ot work. If you figure this out, lemmie know!!!!!!

In order to install an analog cluster in a hud vehicle you need the cluster and its corresponding subharness. Removed the hud cluster and subharness. Then install the analog subharness then cluster. very very easy to do.

Well, I did that exact thing and it did not work. I heard that a 91 needs to use a 91 cluster, but a 92-93 can use either a 92 or a 93. The cluster I got was from a 92 and it did not work.

Yeah...for $200 bucks. Plus you have to pull, send, and reinstall. I really hate the look of the digital gauges as well. I like good ol needles;)
