Yeah, from a 2000 ES300. I had to build an adapter harness, change a few things and figure alot of stuff out. I got into that project thinking it would be easy, but it turned out to be quite challenging. I am working on producing a adapter module for plug-n-play cluster swap for V6 Camry and Solara.

Heres a close-up:

Damn, gotta love the black. It looks damn good, and when you get some rims for it, it'll look amazing.

I'll need to look into what it takes to convert a 4 cyl tach signal into a 6 cyl signal.

Actually, the ES cluster would go into a 4 cyl car, but without converting your tach signal, the ES tach would be way off.

Anyways, I'll check into it.

Wow I would love to have that car. Nice and welcome to TN.

THX guys. It's a pretty decent car. I wasn't too happy with it at first, but as I get some mods into it, it's taking on a better character now.

I just made some LED tails for it, when I get time, I'll post those pics up too. I'm trying to help people come up with a few more options for a relatively unsupported car, hence the ES300 swap.

THX for the props ya'll!!
