changing meter cluster to 01' facelift meter cluster

[wfhan]

Hi all altezza sifu,

Want to ask if anyone here with 1998~2000 model (auto) which changed the meter cluster to the 2001 model ? (with Black km/h center ring) ?

I tried replacing '01 model meter cluster to my 2000 model. All gauges are working fine (km/h, rpm, water temp, etc...) and all indicator & the digital odo/trip readings working fine...
EXCEPT the back-light doesn't light up when I switched on park/driving light.

I noticed the connector at the back are diff ... what or how to mod so that
this cluster will work (i.e. backlight will on) ??

year '99~'00 meter cluster back connector
4 Pins on top row.

Year '01 facelift meter cluster back connector
3 pins on top row & 2 pin at bottom

The connector from wiring-side clipped nicely into both.

ANYONE has a nice wiring diagram on these connections pls share....

the dimmer switch is at the left hand side of the steering wheel. there is a small round thing that can be twist left and right. if ur car dont have the switch, it was covered with a round black cover.
