Most 95's (early models in particular) do not use a VSS like 96-00 but instead is cable driven. And unfortunately, because the 95 cluster is the oddball of the bunch, they do not make any aftermarket gauge overlays either.

Most manufacturers are not aware of the difference in the 1995 cluster. The way to check is look at the hole they made for the trip reset. If I remember correctly, the 95 had the trip reset on the opposite side.

But if you decide to do it, be very careful since you can make it look sloppy very easily.

If I remember correctly, the 95 had the trip reset on the opposite side. Early 95's only. They switched it over to the 'correct' side sometime toward the mid-to-late 95's (as well as a slight change to the console ashtray). The last digit in the trip meter is yellow in these earlier clusters too. Matthew 2000 Nissan Maxima SE Sold: 98.5 Contour SE V6 ATX

All others are just white overlays with no glow. These are now made thanks to CEG getting enough people with interest to have thise company develop them for us.
