Search for the thread about cluster conversion. It took the guy maybe 20 mins to repin the wires. The plugs fit, you just have to pull out wires and plug them in different places on the connector. Easy.
I went to prison a boy and came out a man with a sore ass!

your gonna have to build brackets for it i believe to get it to fit perfectly
and cut some of the inside of the dash. not sure about the wiring. im assuming you live in the US, ocelaris

I thought the ES/EM gauges fit the Si, we have similar plugs, so I was thinking the 03+ ES/EM would fit the Si too...
Unlike the RSX which is much different.. Yeah I'm a usdm si. Wiring isn't a problem, it's just the fitment, I'd do the RSX, but that flat out doesn't fit.
I know our a/c heating buttons are the same for the si/es/em, guess I'm gonna have to get a gauge cluster and test fit...

So the ES/EM civics fit the RSX cluster fine? they fit like crap in the EP :-(
the EP is much more narrow of a cluster than the RSX, maybe the ES/EM civics are wide too? just strange that the EP/ES/EM civics have the same connectors? I would think their size would be closer, I dunno, I thought the 03 sedan was pretty close to my EP cluster. have to relook

Don't get me wrong. Putting an rsx cluster into a civic em2 isn't easy. The clsuter bezel was complete custom and so were the connectors that had to be molded.
Thanks for the help, This is the 03/04 EM (sedan is EM right?) cluster, but auto right?
do they make the sedan (blue) EM cluster in manual? just hard to come by right?

that cluster looks to me EXACTLY like the shape of my EP cluster, some holes for mounting etc... of course it's hard to tell from a picture, but the shape is much more similar to the Si cluster than the RSX cluster to my knowledge. And I've taken my EP cluster apart ALOT

Yup my spare is exactly like that. Got it from ebay for $110 shipped. Keep checking, they always pop up from the junkyard sellers in good shape.
Sure you don't want the gauges a different color? You can always use that EL wire stuff and wrap it around the numbers from the back. Works great and lots of colors.

Do they make this cluster in a manual?
Yeah I actually looked at using the EL wire, I have about 60 SMD LEDs behind my Si cluster at the moment, would take more effort to remove all the hotglued LEDs that it's worth. I dropped you a PM about the dispersion. I don't want the blue though, I've experimented with the 470nm (regular Ultrabright LED blue) and the 430nm (obscenely dark blue) and I really just want something like my dad's accord which has the white cluster, not sure if the EL wire comes in white...
I suppose I could rig some way for it to say I'm in park, drive etc... apparently there is an ecu wire that has that knowledge...

Yes they have those in manual as well obviously
I think the redline might be different like the other years, so you really need the correct one.
