I installed these exact gauges in my civic and was not as hard as you think. It is fairly simple if you are patient. I looked at this website and did it off that. My advice is do it in the daytime and dont be rough with taking out anything. If you need help wiring just reply.

My brother has these in his civic he just bought. They look like *** at night. Nowhere near what that funky animated pic shows. You'll probably take them out after a while.
Anyway, they have 2 wires going to whatever lights them up. The ones my brother has also had a color selector switch (blue/green). They also come with a **** to select the brightness. Hell, they should come with a wiring diagram. It's not rocket science.

BTW, wrong forum.

It's not very hard at all, just take out the gauge cluster and put those over the top of your stock gauge faces

Get a current indicator. Those needle point type of indicators that are connected to a bulb so you know you have current.

Now, start checking which wires from the wire harness behind the cluster have current to them. Make sure that current is flowing ONLY when the headlights are activated. You don't want them on all the time. Splice into those wires. Connect a ground. Slip faces over the needles and have a ricey day.
