I believe it will. I purchased a set of LED's (for their long life) for the LCD's but didn't use them as I wanted to keep the original dimming feature. From memory I checked the wiring diagrams before I made this decision. Working with all the brittle plastic components needed to replace the LCD lighting is not something I want to do too often.

Bit late but I've just done this on another cluster and the tripmeter LED's don't dim or cut out in a VQ with the dimmer adjustment on the RH switch "ears".
The whole cluster, including the LCD display area does dim with the adjuster because the 3 incandescent cluster lights controlled by the dimmer set the overall cluster light level- the tripmeter LED's keep working but are simply too small to matter.

Jumping on an old thread here. I’ve got a VG that’s had some mods done prior to me getting it. Has had a level 3 cluster fitted with what looks to be a VP dash and full wiring loom complete with climate control. Was a V8, now I’ve put a V6 in it. So far almost everything works except for the lcd screens. No odometer is my biggest concern. Any way to check if the screens have died?
Cheers

Check the ribbon that powers the screen is securely plugged in. I'd unplug it , clean it with contact cleaner , then plug it back in.

New member with a laptop problem- a bit remote from anything you'd find in a VP.
