Another gauge question

Which gauges are plug ans play with the 98 EX? I know that 96-00 year models are interchageable, but does it matter if its SI or not? I'm really looking to swap some SI gauges into my EX. Thanks for y'alls help!

Update-
The 05 SI gauges are in. The look really good. I'll be posting pics as soon as I can get my camera working again. A few minor kinks still left to work out. Like hooking up the turn signals backwards haha.

I think they are very slick looking, and after fiddling with them, i managed to get the fit almost perfect. The lower left and right don't quite sit flush but its barely noticeable.

Ah ha. ok so i've come across a few problems with these gauges. first off my temp and fuel meter are off. i think the wires are mixed up. Does anybody know which wires they are? also i have five wires that are not hooked up to anything and i'm not quite sure where they should be hooked up. They are:
Blue Harness
Pink/blue
Red/blue
Red/yellow
Yellow/blue (which is the EPS wire...but i'm not quite sure what the EPS is)

Green Harness
Blue/orange (key light...which needs a switched ground-like ground when the car is off, and not grounded when the car is on)

also the light that indicated the e-brake stays on, which wire is that?

i think thats about it haha. Any and all help is greatly appreciated as i try to work out these minor details lol. oh by the way its for a 2005 SI Gauge. Thanks for all y'alls help!
