The wiring isn't the same, but if you can work out what wires need to be changed it'll work.

Even if you win a SII/IIII XR Cluster, you will still need to change some pins.

The series 2/3 XR clusters, look nicer than series 1 anyhow.

Cheers

you can put it in but you start to get funky things happening like the interior lights not working and other sorted niggles
