ok i got my jdm sir gauge cluster put it. Everything works fine except for the dimmer. I double checked all the connections everything is plugged in, but the dimmer just doesnt work. it still dims the dash lights but not the cluster. Any ideas?

I had the same problem with mine. I had to take all the gauges out of the housing and put them into a US version to make everything work. Good luck.

MrSmith

so there is no dimmer function on the cluster?
well Im not gonna take the entire thing apart just for that so i guess im gonna have to live with it.... thanks for the info.

Not sure if yours has a dimmer function. I figure it does, it just has a different plug then the one I took out of my car. Just swap all the gauges to the other housing and it should be fine.

This whole process will only take you about 20 minutes...Not that hard.

I ve had 3 different JDM clusters in my EK. The dimmer never worked in any of them. Im too lazy to try to mess with it, and it dosent bug me all that much.

MrSmith

hrmm maybe i will take it out and mess with it I have nothing better to do tonight
One more question. the cluster did not come with bulbs, and it has more bulbs for the backround lighting than my stock cluster. Where can i get the little plastic things that hold the bulbs? I need two more of those. I tried pep boys autozone etc they told me i would have to go to the stealership.... Anyone have a couple extra laying around? I dont feel like going to the dealer and paying $5 a pop for them or whatever they would charge.

I probably can round a few up if your are not in too much of a hurry. Just e-mail me to remind me.

MrSmith

thanks for the offer! pm-d you, no email at work

WHATS VTEC

just take the wiring form the us cluster and install it in the jdm one, its easy, thats the only way it will work
