I hear that those clusters aren't really compatible anyway with swapping an xlt, xl or stx. I woulda bought that fx4 off of you :/

Everything works fine from the start, I just had a dealer reflash the cluster to recognize my manual A/C. I still need to install the cluster button in order to cycle through all the options, but that's it.

If you want a true red color that doesn't fade, use lighting gels like we use in concert lighting.

They're bolt in. You just plug everything in where it came from. XL,STX,XLT,FX2, and FX4 all are the same. It's the models with auto air that cause issues.
