I needed a front Deville DTS fog lamp one. The rears are easy to find. Found a front DTS one about a month ago for $50.

With your new cluster, what happens to your mileage?

Do you reverse the ravages of time and lower your mileage :o

1997 STS Diamond White

1999 STS Crimson Pearl

2001 STS Silver

At some point in time....the cluster mileage will have to be reprogrammed. This can be done at a DELCO radio/speedometor shop.

Maybe 5 minutes to do....

Yes, the car has 115k.....the 'new' DTS one is showing 25K. Hmmmmm ship now out of state?

The DTS cluster DOES work. Much nicer display then the stock Deville unit.

Thats good to know because I might buy a rental car Deville someday.

I love the look of that new cluster compared to the old one.

Is it the same one as the 98+ STS?

Real happy with the new DTS cluster.

And here is the DTS one. You can also see the window I had to cut on the bezel for the upper reflective display to work.

Also note the start up script '2001 Cadillac DTS.' This message can be programmed with a Tech 2. You can have it display any message up to 17 letters.

while shopping for the new dhs last week, saw several DHS's with the deville digital dash! it is an option, but the question is....why? I am guessing at the end of the build cycle they ran out of analog clusters.....one guy at one dealer was surprised the DHS came that way, another dealer said they had never seen one ordered that way......

Technically....they can be swapped in the same dash opening.

But they wont work.

The 92-97 have the HVAC controls as part of the cluster.

96-97 have them by the radio.

Also...96-97 models used OBDII programming. Very different electrical system used versus the earlier 92-95 models. LOTS of the harness changed.

I'm not saying it CANT be done. Time is $$$. How much you got?

I'm intrigued by the "window" you had to cut in the bezel. Would you care to offer details?

The upper part of the display.....is reflected off the cluster lens....the part that is displaying in digital '0' MPH and the condition of the trans selector PRNDSL.

Its a floating display.
