I've got a 94 DX and would like to put in an EX cluster with the tach. Is there anything major that needs to be changed? Does it plug right in or do I have to run wires for the tach like a normal aftermarket one?

 

no you take the dx out and you plug in the ex no wiring everything is plug and play. even the Si cluster.

 

U serious? That is awesome. All this time I figured I would have to rewire something to get the tach to work. If I knew it was this easy it would have been done a while ago, b/c I couldn't find a place to mount my small aftermarket tach without it looking ghetto.

 

yep plugs right in

 

plug and play for the win

 

you could take off the condoms on the bulbs to make it brighter. its alot bright than stock. youll notice the difference.

 

before you put it in, replace the bulbs with amber, or add the amber si condoms, looks so much better

 

Nothing else on the dash is amber though. I might do that, just not sure.

will this work with a 97? I wanna do this to my EK cause i dont wanna resort to an aftermarket tach. Anyone know if theres a write-up on how this stuff wires up?

 

96-00 clusters are interchangable as well the tachs are pre wired...you can also swap in the older crv clusters

Very easy, maybe like 3-4 plugs. The connectors should be different too so it makes it easier to install.

alright cool. thanks

 

This diy works good for the amber bulbs. It has that jdm amber look. I did it to my bulbs after I swapped my ex cluster in.

my local junk yard hardly has any civics that are any newer than '90, so that out. I just need to know where i can get a cluster that wont cost me an arm and a leg

 

Ebay or check on honda marketplace on here.

 

I seriously cant believe someone asked this question but hey...to each his down... Plug and play for the win

 

Another question about this. Will the manual one work on an automatic? Will the only difference be it wont show your gears on the dash?
