Successful Gauge Cluster Swap
I'm happy about this mod. It looks great and it works well!!!
Old cluster: New cluster: I've got a 2009 USDM 3dr liftback. The new cluster is from a 2008 Canadian liftback. Bought it on eBay, and it works great (including and especially the tach). Yes, WarMachine is the guardian of the gauge cluster.

yes, I'm using KM now. My next oil change is due at approximately 64940KM.
My car actually has 31867 KM on it not 64320. So when I calculate my "milage" I will always have to subtract 32,453 KM

$49.94 shipped to my doorset from Canada. Didn't have any trouble finding one at all. Just have to be willing to put a 2008 cluster into a 2009 yaris.

Is there not a picture on my first post? The 2008 canadian model gauge cluster with the tach lights up with white LED's.

But since I've moved on to an auto, it's even easier; but even then, I still tend to shift my auto a lot! Cheers! M2

My first car was a Honda Civic with a 5-speed and no tach... I've had this yaris for a year without a tach... but the last few hours with a tach have been more fun.

Living in Canada, I got the same guage cluster as stock. I really love it, and the white LEDs look so nice. It looks so much better than the orange.
I like the look so much, that I did the rest of my dash lighting (heater/ac, transmission, radio, window controls, door locks) in white LED to match. Good choice on the swap!!! |

I can shift by the feel too, but it's so weird the concept driving manual without a tach :)

Is it legal to do this?
Will the old pod still read where it left off and make it look as though your car has low milage?

Haven't seen any car inspectors in my lifetime so I'll try and keep it that way. Super easy to swap back in the stock cluster if need be, and no-one has to know this one was in it (except you guys...).
