VX SS - Dash Conversion

[nolim8ts]

I recently purchased the below items from eBay. I assume that it would be a straight switch over and then taking the car to Holden to match the new odometers reading to the old one?

Dash Cluster

Hazard, Trip and Headlight Switch

Heater Control

Are there any differences between the VX Cluster and the VX SS Cluster? If not, is it as simple as getting Holden to re-calibrate the dash?

At the time, I couldn't find a 3 window dash on eBay and since some the globes in the dash / heater control had blown, i thought it would be better to replace everything rather than having blue / green etc / orange.

so.. if my car has a 1 dash window on the cluster can i just buy a 3 window one and replace it? Will I need to make any other changes?

These are the quotes I received to re-calibrate the dash.

1) $140 from Holden to reset everything except the odometer
2) $181 to match the new odometer to the old one (3rd party company)

Dash Fitted

Fitted the dash this afternoon and have to say it looks really good. The only slight exception is the light which slightly bleeds around the RPM and Speed Needles.
