Default Dash Board Swap

Has anyone swapped over a 92-93 dashboard (radio, gauge cluster, climate control pod, headlight bezel, computer cluster) to the white faced pieces of 94 and up. I really don't like the orange color comparted to the white. I am assuming this is all a simple unplug and swapp job, but I just want to make sure that all the various parts were not changed other wise. Any input is appreciated :cheers:

Cluster................................. ..............$40 (Ebay) (6K Tach)
Info Center.................................. ......$ 20 (Ebay)
Driver side panel and switches..........$30 (karshop)
Passenger Side switch.......................$15 (MR. CJ)
Door Bezels (no marking) Black..........$30 for the set (MR. CJ)

Also I don't know if yours are this way.. but I had gotten a set of the 91 seat controls.. Apparently when the parking lights are on these also light up. not sure when GM stopped it.. but I do know that my white lettered controls did not have the bulbs.. so I swaped them from my older controls.

Again I don't know if they will light correctly. I am hoping to get the battery in my car within the next few weeks
