Default Cluster replacement

After diving into the dash tracing down that pesky no light problem, I've been thinking, and searching.
Are there any after-market digital display gauge clusters out there?
I've not found any direct replacement ones yet, and that's what I want.

Buy digital gauges and fab a cluster. I think that's about as close to a replacement as you're going to get for a Dodge Neon. I'd be surprised if there were a company that made 'em.

I'm beginning to think you're right.
It would just be easier to go ahead and utilize the signals already coming from the harness right there instead of having to purchase new gauges and sensors.

showsxt, what does that cluster you have look like?

Edit:
well there's the OBDII route as well. But something tells me that it doesn't update fast enough to suit me.
A little research into the timing and signals is in order

Can't you just get a working cluster from the junkyard or is the harness messed up?

I put a pic of my gauge cluster in my garage and I would make your own more unique and one of a kind.

You're not understanding.
My cluster works perfectly. I want another look for it. I've always liked digital display dashboards.

If you want a different look just go to speedhut.com and look around and see if you like all the different colors and some designs and you can even customize what you want them to say on it for free. Or you can custom do your own digital ones.
