PULLY6 · 13-05-2005, 03:34 PM

hey guys, i'm looking at doing an LED dash mod v. soon - i want this dash cluster pictured, i know it's an EF one i'm just not sure which variant:

1. Which model is it from? EF, EFII, etc
2. Is it low/mid/high series?

BTW, does anyone have one i can buy? regardless of k's.

Looks like high series EF to me (white dials and oil, batt guages). I thought EF was just EF... no I or II.

Thats an NF/NL DF/DL LTD cluster. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET isnt it.

The bad news is its allot of work to get it to work.

oh right... fairlane cluster.

whats involved in getting it to work dan? helped a mate out (a bit) with the LED mod, i dont see it being too hard.

or is the Fairlane cluster a different format?

To be blunt its a bastard of a job to put a Fairlane cluster into a Gli/Futura etc. You basically need to add wires to every door including the boot (for the door ajar indicator), you have a 3rd connector going into the cluster to feed it all this info and there's a lot more things that I cant remember - all I know is that there is a lot to it!
If you want to change your cluster or gain the oil pressure and voltage gauges, the best way to do it would be with either a Fairmont or an XR cluster. Unless you're willing to add a lot of wiring and go through a lot of stress, swearing and effort for (IMHO) little gain, it's just not worth it.

the fairlane / ltd clusters also have a PRND321 inbetween the speedo and tacho dont they? this would the the "other" things in that 3rd loom plug....

Thats what it is Wayne. Pretty difficult job, but if ya really really wanna have that cluster in your car, give it a go!

hey guys, cheers.
i have a fairmont, so the only thing that would be difficult is the PRND321; the wiring for which i should be able to steal out of a fairlane yeah?

if order to do this, u have to add a fair few wires.
to be honest it'd be easily to put a fairlane loom in the whole car to get it working right :P
