i have a 96 prelude and i am looking to put the digital el cluster in their. i have heard since this is the 96 i don't need any rewiring or the converter box. is this true. i am looking to buy one if somebody has one for sale.

 

bump

 

Does any one have a pic of the digial guage cluster(92-96) .I have heard of it but never seen anyone with it .I was beginning to doubt its existance

 

um...I think all 94+ preludes had the EL cluster.

Nope...only Si and VTEC models have EL from 94+. The S model has the same cluster from 92-96.

If your car has no EL Speedo/Tach, then you need (without doing a shiateload of wire splicing):
1. EL Gauge cluster
2. Attached harness to Inverter
3. Inverter
4. Dash wiring harness
5. Dimmer relay

Trust me, I'm doing my swap as we speak. This is the only way to make it plug-n-play. Without all five parts it won't work as intended and you will have to do mass-splicing.

***EDIT***: Some have done it without getting the dimmer relay and still had it work plug-n-play style. My guess is that their gauges simply don't dim when you turn on your lights at night is all. (From my understanding, this relay controls not only your dimmer switch functionality, but it also functions in dimming down the EL gauges when you turn on your lights to lower the brightness when it is dark out, considering that your analog gauges do not need any night-time dimming I assume that the non-EL dimmer relay does not have this functionality.)

Hope that explains things...

 

Pictures anyone?
