Re: 01-03 to 04-05 Gauge Cluster Swap: DONE! Pics inside w/ Pin removing FAQ
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...

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.

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..

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.

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

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...

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