why would you have to cut wires? the cluser unscrews from the car, the wires are all on plugs, the bezel pops off, you unscrew each gauge you need.. done? where's all the cutting needed?

you can change out just those gauges though.. but to buy a 96-00 dx cluster is cheeaaaap. any 96-00 civic cluster will work, or any 97-01 CRV cluster.

glow guage covers cause problems especially when the previous owner installs them incorrectly just for your knowledge

make sure you get a cluster with a tachometer if you have the five speed, its very annoying if you dont have it.
