Hey Karizzle, u have a Canadian car rite, i'm have some problems with my cluster, i seem to have a red/green wire in my car, but missing a red/yellow wire in my car, i assumed it was the same, since they are from the same original location as Samuri's diagram, but it didn't work. i had a chance to take apart an 01 civic sport and that car has a red/yellow wire, i have a vp and do not know where it should go. when i plug it into the red/yellow location the high beam indicator comes out, now that it is unpluged that light is off. i keep blowing out the 15A fuse of exterior lights and don't know how to fix this problem, can u help?

BUMP on that man... it really helped out a lot... he emailed it to me when I had issues on it and damn, that made things really clear for anyone who sees it in regards to removing the wires from the socket...

Okay i have on 01 ex and im swapping my cluster out with an 03 or 04 ex *not sure* cluster.. can anyone tell me which wires to swap. lol

 
Rep Power: 811

almost every wire needs to move, just follow the diagrams. vp is old style you use to match up your plug orientation, then EX is the new diagram you want it to look like. dont forget to remove battery. yes just take it out of the car, you dont want an accident lol.

 
Rep Power: 251

i think you meant remove negative terminal? ^^^

yeah... just follow the diagram... have to move some wires from the blue connector to the green, but for the most of it, it would be worth it... got mines installed and is loving it... way better than my original cluster... The only thing I was wondering is does the cluster lights get more dim when you turn your headlights on compared to the how bright it was when you drive w/out the headlights on??? for some reason, when I turn my headlights on, the cluster is much more dimmer than it was w/out the headlights on... If anyone could shed some lights on it, it would be much appreciated..

 
Rep Power: 811

there is a two stage dimmer with memory. that one **** can be turned to adjust the brightness both with lights off and with lights on and the setting will be saved. it dims one notch automatically cause full bright is way too much at night.

 
Rep Power: 346

Yeah, I found that out when I was playing with it that night too. I also found a thread made by infinite012 back in the day, with a different chart that helped me tremendously. Here's a picture of the file

my gauges are arriving on thursday, you know the funny thing i watched you taked the pins out in the video and i still cant do it i guess i have to sharpen my paperclip as well? this is one annoying thing to do.

 
Rep Power: 278

Okay quick quesion.. i have 2 wires left to be put in.. everything works..

1st) i take it my yellow w/black stripe needs to be extended from my Old green harness to my New Blue Harness..

2nd) the Green with black stripe.. What is its function and what need to go there?

FYI im doing this on an 01 EX to an 03 EX cluster (red) the only wire i have left is a white with red stripe..

 
Rep Power: 346

I sharpened mine the first time, but the second time I made that video I didn't...So either way works. Just keep practicing man. That's what I had to do. It'll come eventually


You are correct, white with red stripe should be the only one left over. I have an 01 EX and that's how mine ended up.

BLUE Connector:

Okay so what does the Green w/ Black strip do.. I need something to connect it to, cause i dont have a green w/black stripe in my car.

Ive determined the one that needed to be extended was for the fuel lol.

Oh come on now.. someone.. im almost done!

thanks a lot Gearbox, I will go ahead and try it when i get a chance, at work right now so really cant get to my car... As for Mr. Plenty, all you really have to do is stick that paperclip towards the bottom of the connector and press down on it while using your other had to pull the wires out, its really easy trust me, might need a little pull, but it comes out easly... did it like in a minute or so after seeing the video...

 
Rep Power: 811

if anyone has a wire question like what it does i can look it up too.

 
Rep Power: 251

LOL!!! WOOOOOOO i got it!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!! its easy as hell to get the pins out after you do it the first time. Exactly like the video except i used a large paper clip not the small ones they bend to easily. I actually found and abandoned civic cut the clips out of the dash and practiced on those and got all of the pins out except one(its a bitch to get out prolly stuck from the all the rain etc.) so when the gauges arrive on thursday i'll post pics after work.
Thank you all my fellow 7thgeners for the assistance!!

HAHA... no problem man, like I told you and everyone else here who done it before, its easy once you get it out the first time. Enjoy man... I know I sure did doing this DIY.

 
Rep Power: 278

Rep Power: 346

I never measured the paperclip...It was sitting on my desk, being all paperclipish. So I used it
