damnit, still cant figure this shit out, i have the new cluster sitting infront of me, i swear its mocking me...fucker....
hey do you guys know anywhere where i can just buy the blue/green wire connectors? i swear if thats the case, then im just gonna tear up the old connectors to get the pins out and put them in the new one. anyone know other than honda? i already called them and they refuse to sell me it
btw if u need any help, its all still fresh in my memory. took me like 3 days to figure out how to get the pins out (ended up using a special tool made for it) and after that, its allllll downhill. took me less than an hr. some wires tho didnt wanan come out, so i had to cut and solder them
i still got a couple probs tho...abs light, airbag light, a red dot on the N and oil light (but they both go away when i turn the lights on)
i paid around 70 shipped for mine, what tool did you use and where did you get it and how much? oh and the ABS since VP dont have side airbags, just get black tape and tape over it, or just live with it, atleast thats what i read on the forums

I called up my preferred wrecking yard and they said they don't cut harnesses, and they wanted to charge me 400 for the entire dash harness. I'm thinking of just trying to find any wrecked 01-05 and have the cluster harness cut so I can experiment with it outside of the car...
Which Cluster has the BLUE RINGS and which one has the RED RINGS ?
The pic posted by RAFUS with the RED RINGS is hot and that is preferably what i want ... Can some one give me details like what year and trim is that RED RING cluster from ? And one more thing is that would I have to REWIRE it to fit my 2004 Manual TRANNY VP COUPE

Thank u All
clusters with the red ring are from the coupes, blue rings are from sedans

fuck i dunno the name of the tool, i got it from school (i go to an auto mech school) i just went to the tool guy and told him i need something to get wires out of a connector and he gave me this thing with like 6 small things of various sizes and one of them fits perfectly into the connector holes. if you want to exact name, i can get it for you on monday....
btw, @ 70$(i assume usd) is that the going price for them? cuz i got mine for 30$cad (like 25 usd)
im not sure if its the going rate, maybe i got ripped maybe not, i got mine from ebay, and at the time all the them were going for 80+s&h, one was going for 60 but it had a scratch going down the middle

I've seen the gauge cluster I got go for as high as 200 on ebay...It's pretty hard to come by. Auto clusters are pretty much a dime a dozen on ebay
I was going to change my 01 cluster to red led's, but I don't have the time to have my car down to do it. I have all of my buttons and a/c contols switched to red led's. I think I'm going to get a cluster from an 03-05 ex coupe, but I have side air bags on my car. Do I need to get one from a car that had side air bags, or is it already built into the cluster? Good luck on your install 01honder.

it shouldnt matter if cluster came from a car that had side air bags, i think any 03-05 cluster will do, its just a matter of wiring the connector properly
Thanks, but I was concerned that the cluster may not have the "side airbag" light on it. I didn't know if it's one of those things they put in there even if it doesn't get used.
