No it doesn't plug right up because the plugs are different.

How did you get to install it? I know you have to splice some wires and connect the to the jdm plugs but I need like a wiring diagram or something.

HEre's what I did

First the JDM & USDM are diffrent in the back due to the USDM being slightly curved on the left b/c it's on the left side and the JDM one being curved more to the right b.c it sits on the right side.

So, what I did was take off the JDM backing of my KMH speedo and did the same with the USDM MPH speedo backing. Then I put the USDM Mph backing on the back of the JDM kmh speedo cluster. Then plugged it all in a boom it worked.

Before I became smart enough to do that I extended and sauderd the wires on my USDM to reach the apropiate spot on the cluster. That was just to much. Worked, but to much.

If you take off the backing's it will work.

The problem is that my USDM doesn't work because the gaugues are busted so I can't do that, but thanks anyways.

In "backing" do you mean all the white plastic case that surrounds all of the interior stuff? or do you mean the face where the numbers are?
