I want to know if a cluster from a jdm es civic will fit into my 01 dx canadian model. It was the only 01 cluster for a sedan in metric I could find on ebay.

heres the link to the item http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Fit? 100%

Plug and Play? Might need to re-pin. Not 100% on that, though.

it works, just re-pin your wiring, and wire the tach wire, search for the diy

twogunz

just to clarify, is the rewire for the tach, or because its from a jdm civic? because other sources say the stock dx harness is wired for tach.

It Wasn't Me

I've read the same thing, but I cannot speak with absolute certainty as I have not done a cluster swap. (no need to, I have already have a tach)

twogunz

okay then, thanks for the advice bro. I guess i'll just have to try it and find out. I'll post up afterwards and let you know how it worked out

Canadian built DX's will work with tachometer equipped clusters from Canadian built cars for sure. The only problem I had when I installed a 2001 Si coupe cluster into my 2001 DX sedan was tha abs diode/led constantly illuminating, ended up cutting it. Whether this has low windshield washer fluid lamp and drl lamps you will have to determine ( you may not even care)

thanks, I was wondering about the abs light, i thought about opening the cluster and removing the bulb behind it but I have no idea if that is even possible. would you mind sharing exactly how you disabled it? side note; I'm in Halifax too

ok, I figured I'd post the results in case anyone searches for this in the future and finds this thread. It is indeed plug and play and everything works. I decided to use a little square of electrical tape on the back side of the cluster face to cover the abs light. very pleased with the result.
