those are not bulbs in there, what that is, is a type of an electron filament, that reacts to electricity and "glows" when activated...... i think, but definatly no bulbs

i have a 2000 cav cluster for sale lol
The lights at around 50mph do not work and the odomerter will not give a mileage reading on my sunfire cluster. What do I have to do to change this. I got it from a junkyard.

Lito, im pretty sure it wont, he has a digital odometer and you don't. 2000+ has digital odometers, I think 99 does too but im not sure. Im fairly positive you will probably have to find a Cavalier with the same mileage as you in order to swap clusters.
i'm going to have 6 194 red leds for spare when mine come in if any one wants to buy mine
yea some 99s have digi odometers
and unless u do mine wont work
sorry pal

Lito --- No that will not fit. The 00-02 are different shape. you could make it work after a couple hours and a crap load of pasionts to get it done. On the 95-99 there are two plugs. one plug is for the signal the sencers read for all of the actual gauges... like the speedometer, tach ,etc...
then there is another plug to actual power the gauges and alows the gauges to actually work. so the second plug is actualy a switch to allow the gauges to work. if you can do it i personally will giver you a grand in cash face to face! i have looked at it tested it and everything but its vertually impossible to do it.
first cav24 --- did you do a light swap? if not then you have blown bulbs. if you have the light swap check your connections. and for the odometer you need to upgrade that light. hard to discribe it in simple terms.
hor --- everything from 95-05 is digital odometer! al everything is stored in the ecu so you would only need to do a cluster swap.
lito again or who ever --- if theres some one out there that can get a cheap sunfire cluster ... 95-99 style ... i will be willing to buy it off you. i will look at how it all works and make a "HOW TO" for you sunfire guys! but thats if the clsuter will be like 10-15 bucks.... money is minimal right now cars getting upgraded soon. So if any one out there has a 95-99 cluster please post on here ... pm me .... or emails me at dark_new_day9@hotmail.com
The bulbs work now in the cluster, just gave it a good wack and now they work. the odometer still doesn't light up and was wondering how to remove the needles to get to the bulbs?

hit again... you have the newer cluster.... all leds. none of them can be burnt out. if it still doesn't light up eather take it to the dealer the get it fixed or buy a new cluster, or just leave it. right now idk your state of understanding the cluster enought to do the light swap in the odometer. if you do email/pm me i dont want to talk about it over here because i dont want to be liable for anything anyone else does outside of my information.
well im not gonna read thru 14 pages of post so im just gonna ask.
for the gauge cluster on a 99 Z24 is it better to have the domed LEDs or the inverted ones.
and all the 99 cav clusters have digital odometers and some 98s do. just an F.Y.I.
simple minds talk about other people.
average minds talk about events.
great minds discuss ideas
rawk- u figure out that power source yet?

Lito -- you will need to pull the needles on that one! you need to pull the needles on all new face gauges.
drocherz24 --- no ... i had it up and running but a capaciter blew up. also wrecking some other things. the people who sent me the cap sent me the wrong one. so its still on hold for even longer
Homunculus --- manta z had extremely good luck with the 5 led set up. on pointing streaght out then 4 are around the outside.
ok man just keep me in the loop

Not 100% sure on this one but I think the mileage is stored in the cluster on the 95-99 models, and stored in the BCM on the 00+ models. That's the only reason why I havent swapped a Cavalier cluster into my 99 Sunfire.

Actually a lot of the gauge faces you find on ebay do not require removal of the needles. Most of them have large enough holes so that you can point all the needles up and slide the new face over them. At least thats how the ones I had for my 97 Sunfire were.
Does anyone know if you can do 2 tone gages? like the gas/temperature and the tach one colour, then the speedo another colour. i think it would be pretty cool.
its a 98 by the way, so its the easier method.
Injection is nice but id rather be BLOWN!
