Be Careful.

Has anyone done a single to 3 window dash upgrade on a Series 1 VY (if a 3 window dash exists for the VY S1's - are there any pics of various genuine dash's available for the VY Series 1?).
Do Holden dealers do it? Any ideas on price - would it be around $500 that someone quoted here for a Series 2 dash retrofit?
I'm also thinking of maybe getting fog lamps put in - can these also be done my a Holden dealer (and wired into the car easily? where does the switch usualy go?) or is it too much pissing about?
Cheers
The change is easy on all Commodores since the VT.
However, be very careful to get the correct cluster.
If you put a VY S2 cluster in a VY S1 (or vice versa), then the fuel guage will work backwards. You can live with that, but the DTG (distance to go) also works backwards, and is therefore totally useless.
If you put the wrong cluster in, the solution is to change to the fuel sender unit for that cluster.
I am aware of someone who bought a cluster for a good price, and then spent an additional $400 changing the fuel sender unit. In that case, it would have been cheaper to but a new cluster from Holden (around $435 I have been quoted).
Do your research before buying anything, and you should be right.
