Repair Infiniti I35 instrument cluster light – gauges went black

Our gauge cluster bulb blew, making it almost impossible to see things like the speedometer, fuel gauge etc… during the day and invisible at night.

I tackle the project by buying a used cluster from eBay with unknown mileage hoping it worked. Turns out it had less mileage, so I opted to just transfer the bulb instead of having to solder the chip that stores the odometer.
I also believe a Nissan/ Infiniti dealer has the ability to correct the mileage, but I have no idea of the average cost or involvement of the project – in case I just installed the cluster with little fuss.

Hi, I recently replaced my bad cluster with another used one. The new cluster lights turned on and all the meters worked fine except the speedometer. Is it necessary to do reprogramming after installation for the speedometer to work? or once installed it should work? I believe the speed meter might be bad and I want to confirm if programming by the dealer is needed or not before reinstalling and spending more money. Thank you!

I have an 03 infinity i35 with the same issue but I can't find a replacement part anywhere. Would a light from an 02 work?
