Is all the mounting and plugs the same for a sedan 01 gauge clustor and a sedan 05 gauge clustor? I like the style of the new one and was thinking of getting one. Any ideas on also getting the right milage on it? I guess Honda will do it?

Yeah I hope it will fit. If not does anyone have ideas to make the gauges look better without a big risk of messing up the cluster?

i can change the backlight on the older clusters for $100. Or you can put in the new style, the plugs are the same but you need to switch around the wires to make it work.

Thrasher086

Hum... Seems a little more involved than I thought. Is there a DIY for switching the wires? I would send it to you but then I cant drive anywhere for a while lol.

Can you post the link - I'm really not a fan of the orange look of my dash.
I don't think I'd go all out and swap the cluster, but I have thought about swapping the backlighting (or following Gearbox's DIY as it were).

...also, any suggestions on how to change the rest of the backlighting in the car, ie. in the center of the dash, heat/ac *****, ect.

just tear em apart and puts leds in instead of bulbs.

hey gearbox, can you also please pm me the diagram of each plug? Thanks in advance

you need to unlock each connector by prying the lock clip from each side of the clip. then pull with pliars or poke from underneath with paperclip.

would there be interest for me to make a wire diagram for putting a blue led hybrid gauge cluster in a regular civic?
