Rep Power: 787 doubtful. canada just has kph instead of mph. its the same car. only problem you might run into is the tach wire but it should be there. also depending on the cluster, you may have a light coming on for abs since your car doesn't have it. you can just stick some e-tape behind the icon tho. thats what i did for some of mine.

Rep Power: 787 i'm not sure but you could check the electrical service manual if its not in the diy. or easier just put electrical tape behind the icon.

Rep Power: 0 Can some one with a 2003 - 2005 EX w/ ABS tell me what pin location on the blue connector the Blue/Red wire is going into. That is your ABS light wire.
I cant find anyone with a manual to help me find it, but anyone with a 03-05 ex w/ abs can just pull out the cluster in like a minute and check. It would help out a lot of people who have done the swap and want to get rid of the abs light without tape or removing the bulb.
Thanks

Rep Power: 0 yes it is, but its the first time that I saw this thread, esp. with the wires and their colors explained. I already saw those diagrams that you posted gearbox, didnt help me as much. I will be needing your advice once exams are over....lol.

Rep Power: 787 not too hard. just gotta unplug the battery, take out the cluster, then on each connector there are two locking tabs that need to be pried off the sides. then you can take out the wires with pliars or a pin removal tool. then they can be pushed back in the right spots.
there are two styles of gauge cluster. Old style is the 01-02 lx/ex and 01-05 dx/vp. New style is 03-05 lx/ex. so when you swap old sytle with new style, the same diagram applies. on the diagram, ex is the new, and vp is the old.

Rep Power: 0 '04 VP Cluster
After reading this whole thread I'm still a little confused. I have an '04 VP and basically just want to add a factory tach to my car. Would I be better off with an LX or EX cluster? Are they both the same? I'm not really too concerned with looks. Thanks in advance for any info.

Rep Power: 787 yup. 01-02 lx/ex will directly swap with any year dx. if you want the led 03-05 lx/ex cluster, thats what this diy here is for to rewire the pins.

Rep Power: 787 she has a DX. you can directly swap any 01-02 lx/ex cluster with tach. if you want the new led style 03-05 lx/ex, you need to rewire like in this thread. the diagrams should be posted a few pages back.

Rep Power: 787 you need to rewire it. 01-05 vp/dx is all the same old style cluster. you can only directly swap 01-02 lx/ex cluster into yours without rewiring.

Rep Power: 787 that happened to me on a few but stripped the wire. they sell pin poppers at a computer store to push them up from the bottom. you could try a paperclip but i could never get it to work.
