Re: 4th gen daash swap help

I think it depends on what dash it is, along with what cluster and what engine youbare running. Search for "4th gen swap guide".

Re: 4th gen daash swap help

you can run the wires you have in the car already, you would need to splice the 4th gen light switch into ur stock harness and also are u goin to make ur own gauge cluster or run the 4th gen cluster?

To add onto kryz, if you do a search there is a thread that should answer all your questions. From what i understand you need to use a 93-97 firebird cluster if your dash is 98+ and your are not using a lsx type engine.

use the 97 and down firebird cluster, and get the plugs from the cluster, and get the headlight switch as well
