The JDM cluster has the light. You need an Integra fuel sender, then wire it to the bulb.

We got one to work on a '97 CX when we decided to do a fuel tank swap from an EX. The car already had an EX cluster and apparently the low fuel light works now (CXes don't come with them stock).

I'm talking about a 6th gen USDM CX hatchback. The cluster used is a 6th gen US Civic EX manual cluster (tey come with a light). The fuel tank is from a '98 US Civic EX coupe.

Perhaps it was prewired, and when you swapped the tank you swapped the fuel sender. Which made it plug and play...

Well, what we did was a power door conversion on the '97 CX. That means a new EX floor harness.
Then he wanted the tank from the donor car too (engine swap was getting a code for a fuel tank pressure sensor, which the CX doesn't have, but the EX does have, so this ended that forever, no matter which ECU we use), so we put that in. He already had the EX cluster from long before (for the tachometer).

The gas light ended up being a happy little bonus to all that. It came as a surprise.

Besides the dash harness I can't think of much more that might be different between the fuel tank and cluster of a CX versus an EX.
