Default 96-00 civic hatch most popular color. gauge cluster problems common?

whats the most popular/ sought after color for 96-00 civic hatch



and is there a common problem with clusters breaking in these cars?

the guy replaced one already and right after I got it the temp gauge stopped working.

needle would go all the way up.

replaced it with ex cluster with speedo and its working good.

but im wondering if theres an issue with electrical system that is damaging these clusters

I would have to say stock malino red is the most sought after color.

I remember right sometimes if a temp gauge maxes out it can break it and keep it maxed out when it has power.

I think I remember something about people putting faceplates on (you have to take the needle off) and the gauge doing this after they had finished molesting it.

I have never had or seen many issues with 96-00 civic clusters.

the guy said his fuel gauge and temp gauge went out so he replaced it.

now the temp gauge went out 4 days after I bought it.

im just suspecting something else damaging the clusters that is in the electrical system.

I just bought the one with tach and they are not easy to find I don't want it to break.
what should I check besides grounds I checked those already
