Thanks. My dash is grey so I used my original bezel since the denali bezel was silver/gray. it was just too much gray IMHO.
Using the stock black bezel on the denali gauges was "just right". I used 4k leds in the new to me cluster because 5k leds were too blue for my taste.

Yeah - 02 cluster in a 99 will make the airbag light stay on. That page is how to fix it. I did not create that myself. Guy goes by GnatGoSplat figured it out many years ago and then his instructions disappeared. I tracked him down and asked him for them and if it would be okay if I hosted a copy. I honestly forgot that the page was still on my server. lol

I always wanted to do this conversion and finally got to do it on my buddys truck as a test dummy lol. I got all gauges working beside the battery and oil pressure needles to work… trans temp works but as you can see on hp tuners temps only at 91. I made a plug and play harness all I did was rep-in the wires

@Dolph572 The battery and oil pressure needles don't work because of how the circuit board is built. The way to do it is you have to move some of the traces around. Please figure it out and post a how to so I don't have to pay $900 to get an 03-07 cluster one day thanks

Edit: The stalk works so you can switch to trip mode correecT?

I want to rewire and swap the 03+ cluster into my 02 Tahoe. I've had my 02 for a couple years now and have been customizing it for the past year. Custom modding is nothing new to me. I've been an electrician for 25 years and got into the F&F scene back in the day as well. I've never attempted rewiring a gauge cluster, but just judging by the pin outs, it seems like most wires just move around to match the new cluster and viola 😏
