They will work, they're not plug n play though.

I thought the 95 was cable driven? but I guess that's what you mean by not plug and play

idk im very sure mine are not cable driven ive had them out a few times.
is that all you mean by plug and play or will i need to splice pigtales and wires etc?

you will need to splice wires to the wrx style plugs

My car will be using the WRX gauges, you need to do a fair bit of hacking to get them to fit into the gauge cluster.

My blog entry (http://aussiedan.com/blog/2008/03/06/heading-in-the-right-direction/) with more details of the physical mods to fit the WRX cluster to the Legacy faceplate and dash.

I am using a complete WRX body harness so no wiring mods are required. Using it with a Legacy body harness should work, but you will need to splice all the connectors that go to the cluster.

I haven't investigated it myself, but I do know that people commonly use the original cluster with a WRX drivetrain, so presumably the reverse would also be possible.
