The tip cluster is a totally different setup, you cant just replace your manual cluster to a tip cluster...By the way, there is a Mile/Km conversion built in your cluster, you can go back and forth between the two units.

Redridge is right, you can change the LED speed reading between MPH and KPH. Only if you want the faceplate behing the needle to read KPH would you need to do anything else. And lets face it the numbering and hashmarks are so small it is hardly worth it, I know I never really look at anything but the LED for speed. You could probably just by new faceplates if you really want the analog speedo to look different.
