I'm new here and a new owner of a Honda. I was wondering about gauge swapping options, if there are any, to the later Civic gauges. I have a 98 Civic DX with a 5-speed. Its so quiet compared to what I normally drive that its kind of difficult to get my bearings for shift points. I would like to switch to a better-lit dash hopefully with a tach, and I really liked the style in my buddies '01. If anyone has any info on this, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance, Sean...

 

you can put a 96-00 ex or si in easy, simple plug and play. i dont even know if later yr ones even carry the same shape, which i highly doubt i know 03+ doesnt so you would have a lot of modding to do

 

As hatchboy said, you can easily swap in one from 96-00. Later years are shaped differently so it would require quite a bit of modification to make it look nice in your dash. Your best bet is to look around at local junkyards for a cluster from an ex or si. You can use ebay, but they're usually quite high ($100+). I got a cluster for my 95 out of a junkyard for $20.

 

Awesome, so if I found a factory set of gauges from a '00 EX like in the attached image, that there is a pigtail behind my current cluster for the tach? This would be perfect as long as it really is a plug and play setup. I don't want to have to hack into any wires at all... Thanks for your help!

 

All ek cluster are plug and play. The clutsrer pictured above though is from an automatic though, i wouldn't use that.

My car is a 96 CX hatch. I bought a jdm civic type r cluster, it took 10 mins to change it over, no mods needed

 

-1996-2000 CRV clocks fit as well.....

 

i have a 96 dx without a factory tach in the cluster. just swapped a 99 jdm b16a can i put and si cluster in (plug and play) and the factory tach work.

 

For sale...

 

yes all 96-00 civics have all the plugs for for any cluster honda just uses diffrent clusters some with tacks some with out the car is ready for any cluster from 96-00 civic

 

yea i can get rid of my aftermarket pos

 

If you do swap a 96-00 EX cluster, you can switch your Original speedometer with the one on the new cluster that has the tach to keep your original miles. Idk if that was mentioned.

 

Thanks for all the help guys! I'll let you know once I get some other bugs sorted out with the car ntensehonda...

 

hey i have a 97 dx hatch how many connections are there??theres suppost to be 3 and one empty one right??....whats the empty one for ?? anybody know ???

 

ok, i have a 98 civic dx automatic (doesnt come with a tach) but i want one. so let me get this clear. all i need is a cluster from ex(has to be automatic?) or si, take out the old cluster, and install the new one in by connecting the same wire/connectors to the new cluster??

 

how much are you asking for the gauge cluster?

 

The auto and manual both work with either transmission. If you have an auto you won't have the PRND lights, and you may not want them there with a manual, but it'll all work.

 

Which model cluster is this?

 

I have a 95 hatch CX and was wondering if you guys would be able to tell me if i would be able to plug in a 96-00 civic cluster into my hatch....Thanx
