Instrument cluster question ?

Has anyone tried to replace a cluster with lights, with a cluster with gauges ?
I am aware that their are two different size connectors for the pink and green trace consoles. I am also aware of the different wiring connectors between the lights and gauge clusters. I have two different clusters both with green ribbon traces on the back. Both have the same size connector to the wiring harness but the connector pins are obviously different.
If anyone has done this successfully, what all did you have to do?
Thanks

To swap from lights to gauges, or vice-verse, you need to swap the main, underdash wiring harness AND the alternator wiring harness.
