92-94 cluster in a 91?

Post by MPtyza »

Hey, I'm getting a '91 Legacy SS soon, and I was wondering if I could swap a 92-94 gauge cluster in. I'm very interested in getting the reverse glow gauges for it, but they appear that they'd only work in the 92-94 cluster, even though they say 90-94. What I'd like to know is if the cluster is a direct swap, with no electrical issues to deal with. Sorry if I sound like a total n00b, but I'd like to know before I spend the $20 on a newer cluster.

why will they only work in a 92-94?

I helped work on my 91 and if I remember correctly, it appeared that some of the warning lights are on the opposite side of the cluster than on the reverse glows. I don't know though.

That's the gauges I'd like to get after I finally get the car. Maybe my memory of what I saw lit up on the cluster is a little clouded.

Oh, alright. I guess it _has_ been a while since I've seen the actual cluster. Sorry 'bout that

The gauge clusters are slightly different. However it's mainly in the trim that goes around the warning lights and such. So you should be able to use the 92-94 indiglo gauges without any major problems.
