Just the cluster for gauge mycolor. The premium lighting module would be if you wanted to control the ambient lighting as well such as sill plates, cup holders, etc....

Are there any Ford psychologists around? I'm trying to figure out if the GT350 oil pressure and temp gauges will support MyColor. Regular S550s apparently have different main gauges for MyColor or not but the PP center gauges (oil pressure and vacuum) are the same part number for Premium or base so they all support MyColor. So what's most likely? The GT350 panel is just a PP panel with vacuum replaced with oil temp (meaning it will support MyColor) or did they go to the trouble of making a no MyColor version just for the low volume GT350s? I'm inclined to think the former because if they were making GT350 panels without MyColor why not do the same for the base PPs? That would save some bucks (if they are making two types anyway) and complicate adding the center gauges to non-PP cars which we know Ford loves to do.

FYI: If you order a cluster brand new from Ford, it will not have any mileage programmed to it. The IDS can reprogram the cluster as well and correct the mileage.

I finally pulled the trigger and got myself a premium cluster, I'm happy that I got MyColor on the gauges but I'm disappointed that I had to change the cluster to get it to work! (still need to program the IPC to get rid of the BLIS)

The clusters have different part numbers:
BASE: FR33-10849-BF

PREMIUM: FR33-10849-EF


I'm looking to reprogram my original odo into this cluster if anyone can help me with that please!

Did you reprogram via ForScan to enable Mycolor or was this a plug and play situation?

Isnt a brand new cluster 500$?

I see one on ebay for 100$ im going for it, just hope the odometer can be adjusted eventually, i installed the pp gauges with Zack's helpful thread, im curious to see if theyll change colors as well

You'll probably need the Premium Lighting Module to enable the PP gauges

I got my odometer corrected!
I'll write a full review on how it's done

Well this thread just got real...nice work as always! :cheers:

Also curious if the tach goes red when you redline?

Yeah id like to know that too^^ but awesome work for sure!

So I found a guy in a Dubai who done my odometer for me... He soldered the chip in the pic out of the board and put it on a chip reader and reprogrammed it, basically the chip has memory blocks just like when we use Forscan or IDS to reprogram any module - after reprogramming it he soldered it back and DONE! (I paid $60 only)

IMPORTANT: I confirm that the base cluster is different to the premium one - the guy reprogrammed my base cluster to have MyColor! and the menu did show but the LEDs are only white and not RGB so only the white color worked.

Yes it does!

I'll upload a video for you guys to see it.
