I tried looking this up but didnt find anything useful...

Im about to buy a 97 dx coupe the only problem is theres no in dash tach... and i refuse to go rice an buy a gay big old tach... my question is if i buy a new gauge cluster from honda from an lx or another model is the install simple? will it be just plug an play?

thx in advance

 

just plug it in and it works

 

yeap, totally plug and play.

i was in the same boat as you man. i was pissed to find out that a car that only comes in manual doesnt have a tachometer and those big tachs are so tasteless and ugly looking. an LX, EX, or SiR will fit.

Don't buy a new cluster from Honda. It's going to cost close to $1000 for the whole cluster, since everything like the gauges come separate. Buy one used from an EX or Si. Plug and play.

 

a 1st gen CRV cluster will work also. Same as EX clusters just different color and fonts.

 

It's not $1000 for new cluster stuff from the dealer, but still a used one is a better deal. PM me, I've got all the guages and cluster housing for sale cheap!

 

It may not be close to $1000, but it will still be cheaper if you bought a used cluster.
