How interchangable are Gauge clusters

I have a 2005 VP and LX. I like the gauges on the LX much better (obvious - the VP only has engine temp, fuel, and speedo).

Is it possible to switch gauge clusters from an LX or EX into a VP?

If you mean switching the old style with new style (white numbers) there is a way you just have to rewire the plugs.

No switching between the low end 2005 and a upper end 2005.

I'll try to take pics later to show you what I mean. If so - I'll be keeping my eye out for people parting out

My Gauge Cluster (DX / VP)



My wife's Gauge Cluster (LX)



Could I get another LX cluster and put it in my DX / VP?

I'm more interested in the layout of the LX cluster as well as having a Tach which would be nice for slip-shifting.

Someone said the Si gauge faces will fit the new style? Maybe try a cheap one on ebay and see.

As far as the swap, yes it can be done, and yes it requires rewiring the pins. A member said he did it in 15-20 mins.

VP = DX + CD Player (single disk) + A/C.

You can't get a DX Coupe anymore (check Honda's website)

Cool - thanks for all the help - I'm guessing that a quick search in the DIY secion will turn up the repin.

Thanks a bunch.

Okay - dumbish question. Will an Automatic Gauge cluster work in a manual (I assume it will).

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33675

Just wondering if that's what I should be looking for (its not as sexy as the 05, but its better than the one I have).

if you are referring to the 02 and up si, the gauges overlap somewhat, so the spacing would be tighter than the lx cluster shown. on swapped si's, the speedo and tach needles almost collide they are so close.
