I have a Canadian SIR cluster that I need to buy a new plastic cover for. The problem is that I don't know how to go about this. The US clusters, AFAIK, have the little button to reset the maintenance light. The Canadian and JDM (and others markets, I'm sure) do not have this. Is there anywhere that sells new covers for markets other than US? Or will I have to go with a used one and hope it isn't scratched to **** like most are?

If anyone is confused, this is what I'm talking about:

I am looking for a US one, I have a EURO one that does not have the hole, if you need one without the hole I can trade you for one with the hole.
but I am stationed in Germany.

 

Some of the candian models have it too, depends on the year and/or trim level. I think '96 - '97 models lack it. I know for sure '96 CX don't have it, i've seen tons of Canadian civics in the junkyards here in New Brunswick that have it.

 

Haha, making it even more complicated to find what I need... haha thanks man. Anyone know of a place where you can buy new instrument cluster covers?

 

amazingly honda sells them, I figured you'd have to buy the whole cluster, but you can get just the lens, they list for $23.83 Majestic honda sells them for 16.68

 

Wait, what car do I look for? I thought all USDM hondas came with service reset button.

 

Try ordering one for a '96 CX, actually better yet PM NOFX and ask her if she knows what does and doesn't come with the service reset buttom, I can almost guarentee you she does.

 

Is there any way to fix one that has been Windexed, or Armor All-d or something? Its got white spots all over it.

I've tried tooth paste, and steel wool, but nothing seems to help.

I could order a replacement, but they want $75 at Majestic!

 

'96-'00 USDM Civics all have the reset button, and thus, the hole. The USDM '97-'01 CR-V cluster lens is structurally the same as far as I can tell (most of the cluster is the same, in fact).

The part number for the USDM '96-'00 cluster lens is 78156-S04-A01. The part number for the USDM '97-'01 CR-X cluster lens is 78156-S10-A01. So if you see those part numbers, that is one you DO NOT want.

 

Ugh, so it seems I may be out of luck. Other than finding a miraculous condition used JDM (or other market) cluster. Thanks for all of the help guys....Just wish it was what I wanted to hear. Haha.
