The wiring to the amp meter may be different than with the idiot light. I'm sure someone can verify this one way or another.

Unless you replace the complete Main Harness ,You are going to have to use aftermarket gauges.

The Idiot light harness has 14 pins on the cluster connection.
The Gauges harness has 18 pins on the cluster connection.
