Default 01-05 gauges help

Does anyone know where I can get 01-05 sedan gauges? I just found out that the sedan has a different gauge then the coupes. Instead of being orange and white, they're blue and white, which I need to match my stereo.

I couldn't find any on ebay.
help is appreciated.

The usual.. put a WTB in the For Sale / Want to Buy thread, check craigslist, car-part.com, etc. etc. You will need to specify which ones you are looking for, they're not all the same. 01-02 is different from 03-05.

Kinda surprised that ebay doesn't have any. (I didn't look)

What I meant was that if he decides to make a WTB ad, to specify which year (and model) gauge cluster he was looking for, because the 01-02 looks nothing like the 03-05 cluster. The layout is completely different.

The color of the light varies with model, too. (as noted by Masho) So to eliminate any confusion with potential sellers, specificity is vital.

I'm looking to do the same type of swap as you are Masho: from a orange/white to a blue/white. I drive an 03 coupe. (em2?) ((I'm still learning the lingo)) If you figure this out, send me a message, or post pics of the swap!

He's not looking to do an 01-02 to 03-05 conversion. He already has an 03 cluster.


wwpotter, buy one from the same year/model (LX, EX, etc) but use the one for a sedan. The sedan is blue, the coupe is red. (orange)
If you have a DX, you're going to need to do some work.

First of all: Thanks to It Wasn't Me, for the help. I've asked at least three times on honda-tech, and you are the first to really tell me it was possible to do... Now for the questions - Does that mean i have to replace the whole gauge cluster? I imagine that swapping an '03 sedan into an '03 coupe means the blue cluster would only need to be put in and plugged up... correct? I'm unfortunately very inexperienced on the whole taking apart my car with confidence thing...

It's plug and play. The only difference is the color.


I sent a PM, btw. It'll explain what just happened.

Well I couldn't find any sedan gauges lol. But I did find these and I find them appealing. But they're probly twice the price.

I'll go to my dealer and see if they can order some and see how much it is.

anyone tried these b4?

they don't look too bad. I wouldn't use those pillar gauges tho. But the sedan gauges have a nice stock look to them.

for my 03 ex coupe, the fuel gauge and the oil temp gauge are on the right of the rpm and speedometer...

I messaged the ebay seller and didn't get a response if his product would work on mine, but it looks like the fuel and oil gauge are built for the incorrect side... Would the kit still work?
