Want to put cobra gauge cluster in car. What years work???

[SuperDust22]

Like the title say. I want to replace my whole gauge cluster. I have a shop local that I might buy them from. What years will work. I don't think 99-04 will. But what about 96-98 cobras? And would I have to do anything else?

Thanks Guys

I thought 96-98 worked with modification but not completely. My cobra gauges SUCK though, I suggest you go with aftermarket overlays like RC did or some backlit ones. UPR trim rings while you're in there

Nik what is wrong with you gauges. They are the stock ones right? I already have the speedhut gauges. They work great. I just want a more stock look now. Plus I love how REAL cobra gauges are. The ones that go to 160. And what modifications do I have to do? And what didn't completely work?

Yeah mine are the real ones that came in it from the factory. They are cool the only thing is they are backlit in a teal color, which is cool...however they don't light up all that well. That's my only complaint really. I'm not sure what didn't work on the 96+ gauges but I'm sure I saw something on one of the forums about it. Over on the corral there's a recentish post in the 94-95 section about the guy putting a bullitt cluster in his.

My gauges are crap in my Cobra. The tach spins around and the lighting at night is terrible compared to my last GT. I do like the look, but for some reason, the gauges were built poorly. You may want to pass on Cobra gauges and get a nice white face overlay.
