is it possible to retro-fit es300 gauges into our cluster. i just cant get enough of that white glow

Anythings possible with money and time. I don't think anyone has done it, but I'd start by buying the IS300 cluster, then hope you know what you're doing. As far it physically fitting, I have no idea.

imagine that look. sounds like a project to me.

my friend works in a custom install shop. e said if i get the lexus cluster he can fit it on for 200 beans. not a bad price i think

IS300 or ES300?

$200 is kinda high. But that's the price for custom electrical work. And the 3 hours (give or take) that it's gonna take him to figure it out. I'd get some measurements of the IS300 cluster (height and width) to have a better idea of it fitting. I have thought of retrofitting the 2000+ ES300 cluster into mine. Only problem is, finding the money to get the cluster! Let me know how it goes.

The cluster itself is expensive... unless you pull it from a junkyard

Sorry about that. I just noticed that he did say "ES300". I thought IS. My bad.

good luck with that.

Your mileages on the cluster will be way off since it's digital and the memory stored in the cluster, not in the car's ecu

i would say the es300 would fit. the es300 is basically like the camry. I say you visit some junkyards.

the es300 looks like our clusters but the background is completely blacked out and all the numbers are in white. really nice.

everything is not going to line up as contours are not all the same. The guages do light up nicely tho, but the needels....aaah, i hate those, costed me 750 to get a new cluster (as most junkers have inoperational needles). So thats something too look out for when going ES300.
