i think it will physically fit, but i dont know if it will work because 05s dont have tpms and 07s do ... so maybe different wiring

This has been done before and IIRC correctly it was posted in Stillhere153's "Will this fit my car" thread. I thinnk I remember seeing that the TMPS was a problem and that Yellow Info icon was always lit.

^^^ You know Death Metal has a thread on custom LED interiors for whatever color you want. Do a quick search and you'll see he even has a price guide with nice pictures.

It definitely fits! I have it in my 05 and it will also work in 06. The issue is it requires A TON of work to get the switches on the right hand side to fit. You have to dremel the opening and build the mounts which unless you do it perfect the first time will require a ton of touch up. I used a combination of JB Weld, dremel, sanding files, and patience to do mine. It came out so good you cannot tell it's not a factory piece. I even painted it with Duplicolor bedliner to give it the factory texture.

Hi,

the cluster will work, but you always have the tpms info and the airbag warning light. I'll try to change the airbag module, too.
Perhaps, this light will turn off after changing the module.

Good luck
Hans
