I was looking at this front clip and noticed the pocket where our US market civics have a dimmer switch. So do EK9's have a dimmer located elsewhere? To me this option seems useless so I'm thinking about buying a pocket vent that way I can stick a cellphone or something in there.

 

i was always wondering this question myself where does the cruise control and dimmer switch get relocated?

 

I have a 98 civic ex with a CTR cluster and I notice when i use my dimmer the cluster doesnt dim like the stock one did, so im guessing ctr didnt dim at all

 

CTR's don't have cruise control.

 

i didnt ask about if they had cruise control i asked where would you relocate the button with that pocket

 

They don't have either. As far as I can tell none of the JDM/EDM civics had cruise.

Correct, even if you use a JDM cluster in a USDM car the cluster wont be affected by the dimmer, they stay very dim.

 

EK9's do not have dimmer switches. The cluster does not even have a dimmer circuit. any bulb for illumination will have full battery voltage to them without any effect if you try to adjust your dimmer. It's as bright as the Si's amber at full brightness.

 

Nowhere that looks nice. You'll have to do without one (pocket) or the other (cruise sw).
