    Smile Need help with a level 3 cluster convertion!

    hey everyone.
    I know there's already a lot of treads on this topic , but i can't find exactly what im after.
    Ive got a s2 vs accliam and im in interest in doing a level3 cluster conversion.

    So just wondering if there's anyone on here from Melbourne that has done it and willing to do it for me if i supply the parts and pay you? lol

    Ive heard it's easy to do , but i wouldn't have the slightest clue.

    Thanks!

    Somthin up with yours then, unless you had the wiring already in the car from factory and some doosh before you swapped a lesser cluster into your car. Theres a fair bit of wiring loom to dissmantle and patch extra plugs into it, soldering wires in ect...
