Yes, as long as it's from a '96-'00 civic, < '96 and > '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 .

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

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.

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.
