Default cluster swap?

Is it possible to swap in a lcd cluster into a car that came with a standard cluster?

doubt it, because the computer is not programmed for it, it only knows how to turn on light bulbs for each light, it wouldn't know what to do with an LCD display, plus the harness is probably way different.

Its really just not worth it. All of the extra things will not work correctly. Not to mention that they all seem to break at one point or another.
