I didn't expect it to be so easy; just ripped out an Automatic 1998 CRV Cluster and put it in my Standard 1999 Civic DX (d16y7). I got some questions though...
-Is my idle too low? (approximately 500rpm)
[The view may seem parallax but it is around 500RPM when I took the picture]
-Why am I getting an ABS light?
-Since the CRV has a larger fuel tank than the Civic; is it unlikely for my fuel gauge to reach FULL?

(Pulled CEL codes a while ago, it's for my o2 sensor; ordered them already)

You're getting the ABS light probably because you plugged in the yellow plug. Only two of the plugs should go in:

1) The long one over the top and center of the cluster
2) The ~1.5" long one that goes over the tachometer.

Leave the yellow unplugged.

Oh only 2? I plugged in 4.
The 2 blue plugs that go on the outer edges of the cluster; the yellow one you mentioned and an orange one hanging in the dashboard.

edit: I left the orange one out; kept the 2 blue ones and yellow one in; ABS light is gone.

Took me about 20 minutes to do because I already have a CRV sitting in my yard; I just unscrewed it from the dash and pulled off the wires (they were in harness connectors so no splicing/cutting). Then did the same and replaced the Civic one. (plug and play) I didn't modify anything at all; just extracted and installed; the only problem I have now is the lighting of the cluster; it's not working. I only plugged in 2 Blue Plugs and 1 Yellow Plug into the CRV Cluster from the Civic's Dash. Here's an example of how it SHOULD look though: (standard cluster from Google Images)

Damn; what cluster swap? You still haven't found out the reason?

Yeah; a standard CRV Cluster would be amazing too though. If the orange was maybe white, red, would look much cleaner.

Damn; well it worked when I put my Civic Cluster back in. I was do pissed off that it did right after I resorted to tapping the CRV Cluster -.- that was free $50 for me practically and I now need a new Cluster for my CRV when I start working on it later.


edit: UPDATE. Bought a new CRV (Automatic) Cluster from a local salvage yard for $60.
