Actually, it's not illegal to have a new cluster match the actual mileage on the vehicle. Now, if you lower the mileage on a cluster to less than what your vehicle actually has, then that is another story.. I have the Honda programming equipment to program gauge clusters, but it doesn't go backwards, sorry.. You would be better off buying a junkyard cluster with less mileage and getting it programmed up to your correct mileage..
