Default gauge cluster swap from prelude to accord

i was wondering if the gauge cluster from the 97-01 preludes would fit into my 95 accord? is it just plug and play or do you have to modify it to work?

It has been done, search and it might even be in one of the the "sticky" at the top of the page.

Not only is there the issue of it physically fitting, but also confirming/configuring the interface between the dash harness and the cluster. You'll have to get pin-out charts for both and compare before you power up anything

i noticed that swapping the gauge, it will leave a very noticeable gap on both sides of the gauge cluster, which doesnt look clean at all. just look in FAQ and youll see wat i mean.

Your options to make your cluster more interesting doesn't have to include swapping in a Prelude unit.

You've got these for appearance options.
1) Cluster Bezels (Carbon Fibre, etc)
2) LED Illumination Kits (Blue, Violet, Red etc)
3) Indiglow Gauge Faces

You've got these functionality options:
1) Gauge Pods mounted on the top of the steering colume shroud.
2) Gauge Pods mounted on "A" Pillar
3) Tachometer mounted on top of steering colume shroud.

Have Fun, make a personal statement
