Are the earlier monaro dashes the same as the GTS? including the controls?

If the above is yes can the electronic Climate control be retro fitted or is the wiring not going to be available.

Vanity lights on the passengers visor and on the rear 2 doors. Can either of these be retro fitted as thes used to get used alot in my old car.

And finally before I strip my dash apart what type lights are used behind the center switched (Heater, heated window ETC) as i have 2-3 out. and are they white useng a green filter? or green?

Sorry for all my newbie questions but i have searched and found nothing.

Don't know if you will get any answers on this. The Monaros in UK are VY2 and VZ models - dash looks like this



Early Monaro


And VTII



No earlier model are in UK, you would have to source bits from Oz. Also don't know if climate fit is just a 'box swap' prob more to it (Oz forums may help).

As for vanity lights - wouldn't have a clue, try having a look on the Oz forum http://www.ls1.com.au/

Dash lights, you may have to rip it out to find out types

Not much help I know, but only a few of your car around, so not much knowledge in this country.

By the look of it (don't quote me tho') it is a double din and shouldn't need a fascia adapter.

Had another thought about fitting climate - with climate there is also interior (in dash) and exterior (behind front bumper) temp sensors. These prob will need to be fitted also, wiring aswell maybe.

Well I found out that to convert to the climate control is HUGE. New heater box. Dash out and then the wiring... not a fun job so thats a no no....

As to the radio Im getting the general impression it is a Double Din hole... now im just toying with the right radio.
