questions about LX dash cluster after dx to lx swap

hi people,

i did the lx dash cluster swap a while back, but now i have a few questions regarding some indicators:

1) generally how much gas do you ppl have left in your tank once the fuel light goes on?

2) does the washer fluid light go on when it's low or when the washer is in use?

thanks

p.s. i tested the low fuel light and yes it does work but i've gone up to about 13.5 gallons on fill up of a 14.5 gallon tank and i had no light indication.

Mine came with the conviniece package meaning it already had a tach. The fuel light usually goes around ~2.0 gallons left. It'll fade on and off a long time before it stays on. The washer fluid light should just come on when it's low.

Cable,

Did you get the tach to work in the dx with out the convenience package?

All~

How do we know if our dx's are equipped with such a package?

I'd really be interested to do this sort of swap into my 323, I wouldn't care about the low fuel light, so long as the gauge itself works. I guess I need to go to the junkyards
