Yes, as long as it's from a '96-'00 civic, &lt; '96 and &gt; '00 won't fit.

EDIT:
PS: No extra wiring required, the wires are there, just no tach on the DX clusters.

I have a tachless CX cluster in my EX because they're hella cheaper when the fuel gauge on my EX cluster broke.

Honda tachs aren't really accurate .

Get an EX cluster. It's plug and play.

Post a WTB thread in the MarketPlace.

I have a '97 CX (mechanically the same as a DX) in the garage that would disagree with you.

I was only kidding. I have an EX a/t cluster in my DX.

I figured so much, but that doesn't help anyone who wouldn't know any better. It only causes confusion.

So a 96-00 EX cluster will work in a 2000 HX with the Vtec-E engine?

I'm just confirming before pulling the trigger on an ebay.

NOFX

They're all plug and play. I've never heard a problem with any US cluster into any US car. That's referring to 6th gens of course.

Someone else post if there's something special about the HX I don't know.

The fan has nothing directly to do with your gauges.
