You could try replacing the whole instrument cluster with one from a C43 at a breakers. That's if the wiring and gauges match i.e. prepre (square buttons), pre (rounded buttons) or post facelift (rounded buttons) car - pre and post should be an easy swap and then you have the cost of getting it coded at your local MB dealership.

i have a cluster like the c43 with white gauges. it doesnt say amg on it. not sure whats wrong with it but i could test it and let you kno if you are interested.

yes. its from a c280 sport. i just don't know what is wrong with it until i power it up if anything is wrong at all.
C280 sport dial is different C43. I tired... some parts light up differently.... crazy german.... wasted engineering on two different dials on same chassis.Originally posted by benztec

You have to think about the CAN-Bus. Some of the later cars have it and some dont. The plugs are the same but it still wont work. If you get one of the clusters from an E class I think. It will show MPG and other cool stuff. MBenzNL does the conversions. I tried just a cluster in my sisters C280 and it worked, it was pretty cool.
1996 C36
-blacked out grill
-cold air intake
-flat hood emblem
-full custom bent exhaust
-stereo things.
also the milage on the clocks you fit from breakers will be your new milage as this can not be reset
best to strip out c43 clocks and remove face of it and place in yours but be warned not an easy job
Wait so c280 sports have white gauges? My 96 c280 sport just has black gauges. Wassup with that?
I believe that MY 1997 and up Sports have the white gauges.
Damn thats weak. Lol. Im one year off then
w202 started in 1993 and finished in 2000 but they were face lifted in 1997 so that is why the w202 sports has white clocks
the pre 1997 had a sport clock too but it just had a higher top speed and slight different surround in grey not black
You could take the dials apart and transplant the clocks if you're really careful and have alot of patience.

my and my brother fit white clocks in our c180 esprite. to go along with the white leather. we where lucky and got them cheap on ebay for £50
but keep the stock clocks as they are better left alone unless you get them from mb dealer and set the correct km
I have purchased from whitegauges.net. The overlays line up pretty well, and look good. I had to use the 99-00 C230 overlays as there is no post update set for the C280. The only difference is the redline on the tach overlay, but I can live with that.

Can be changed tho, so not a problem
