Re: Installed si cluster into my dx... (fifthgearonline)
check on ebay...they have some...just search "si cluster" heres one try this, but there are some more
time? ha the install took me a good 5 minutes
(lower the steering wheel as much as possible, evn though it only goes down about 2-3 in)
1. unscrew 2 top screws and push in and remove bezel
2. take out 2 top and 2 bottom screws to actual cluster
3. unplug 3 clips form back
4. get new cluster and plug in the plugs in the same spots
5. put it back in place
6. put 2 top and 2 bottom screws back in
7. but bezel over it and insert 2 top screws
8. put steering wheel back up
it is very simple...you should do it trust me it is sweet...orange letters r nice @ night too

Dude thanks for posting this up b/c my friend wants me to do it to his 98 dx hatch. His 5" Monster Tach got stolen, and so he wanted something not as obvious, like stock. Looks real good though.

Just understand that your DX redline is only 6800 rpms and not 7800 rpms. For that reason I suggest the LX cluster is a better swap for the DX since they both share the same D16Y7 engine in the 6th gen body.

Oh yeah you should swap your DX speedo into the Si cluster so your mileage is correct too. Don't worry about the gauge faces cause you going to get indiglo or white face ones soon anyway.
