I like the clean look of the KM/H cluster!!! Are they plug n play with a U.S Spec car?

The signal to the gauge is the same. Its the gear inside the speedo/odo that is different. Yes, it is plug and play but you may need to adjust it slightly to read exactly right on your car.

I've swapped my Mph to Km and it was a direct fit to the ones that have the same scale. The faceplate is the only diference between the same scalled speedos.

The gears have different tooth counts. I learned this when I bought a new ODO gear and vertex sent the wrong one.

I think my GTS US speedo matched my GTS Euro speedo...been nearly 9 years since that event and I was not paying much attention because I knew I was going to switch back to the EURO kph cluster ASAP...

Maybe I was unclear in my first post. IT IS PLUG AND PLAY. The signal to the speedo is the same on both cars. Your speedo will read accurately. If its slightly miscalibrated you can adjust it to the proper speed.

I mentioned the gears being different and I think that may have confused some people. I was just making the point that the signal to the speedo is the same regardless of whether the car was built with KPH or MPH originaly. The differences are inside the speedo which won't matter to the OP because he is switching out the whole thing.
