There will be a fair bit of mucking around. The problem is the door ajar warning lights. Either you'll have to wire up the sensors in each door, take the globes out of the cluster, or just put up with a lot of flashing lights

It is not a straight swap as the f/ghia and fairlane models have 3 plugs for the cluster, and mid to low series only have 2. But to get the 3 plugs wired in, Just cut all the plugs you have off the loom, then "tap" into the old ones with the new 3 plugs. You will have a few wires left over; volt guage, Oil guage and buzzer. Couple of others but i cant remember :(. It is a bit fidly and frustrating, but you will get there. First time i did it, it was done in about 1.5 hours. And in the dark, using a torch. Any more questions, just ask
 good luck cheers scott

to stop the door ajar flashing lights just add some resistors to the circuit. can't remember the resistor ohms used. you'll need alot of patience as their are a fair amount of re-wiring to do. i used to mod that on my old EA, missed it so much... love the big digital speedo display.
