Mileage?
Can someone confirm the mileage is stored in the gauge and not the ECU.
I have a 2005 LX gauge waiting to be installed in my 04 VP but I am concerned about keeping the correct mileage.
If it is in the gauge can it be flashed? Where would you have it done?

Got the gauges in...couldnt take pics digital camera is broken ahha....I have to say this is the best modd i have done so far lol These gauges are so so "PRETTY" its the attention point when people look in the car(probably because my old gauges never worked and always stayed on trip88888888... I have the coupe version "white and red" Once you know how to get the pins out its easy..i wired them up and rechecked them in about 15-30 minutes tops. And my mileage now says "3" hahahahaahaahahah

So will the automatic cluster still work in a manual? Do you just get those stupid little P D R N... lights or are any of the other lights different?

Most of the time, a lot cheaper then the blue ones. And a lot more common. I wouldn't pay more then 75-100 for a coupe (red) cluster.
My best advice is check ebay, and check it often. That's how I picked these up for only 60 ish bucks or so.

make sure the right wire is connected and then you may have to get the light reset which is complicated and prolly cant do it yourself
Re: 01-03 to 04-05 Gauge Cluster Swap: DONE! Pics inside w/ Pin removing FAQ & Video
I tried to reset the light and it turned off..for like a minute then it came back on. Could it be because I have side airbags and the car I got it from doesn't??

OK sorry to revive this thread, Im purchasing mani's 04 ex cluster and I have an 04 DX. I read the diy and realized that you have to change pins around because of different model years, but if my car is an 04 would i have to change any pins around?
Re: 01-03 to 04-05 Gauge Cluster Swap: DONE! Pics inside w/ Pin removing FAQ & Video
Yes Sir, I would still like someone else to answer this question. But you still have to do the rewiring even though its the same year ... The 03 04 05 LX/EX cluster has to be rewired to go on a 04 05 DX/VP ...

If you have a DX/VP and want to switch to an LX/EX cluster, you must rewire your pins
