I just swapped mine on a 2000 and it works great, even the little amber LED.

I did a swap.

1. The recessed button sets one of two intensity levels of the light that shines on your central console around your gear shifter. This light is not present in the early-style lamps. Because of this, the electrical wiring is different. In mine, I modified the recessed button to turn this light on or off as I believe that if left on, even on low intensity, it could drain the battery.

2. The small connector is easy to get in an electronics store. You then need to map which wire goes where cause, if I recall, the pin-out is not the same.

Good luck!
