you can also look at the back of the gages, the 98.5 to 00 gages have three vertical and three horizontal pins behind the speedo, the 98 gages have the three vertical pins I believe but in the location of the horizontal pins there is iirc a small ribbon cable and connector, I do believe pics have been posted before
