Exclamation KM Gauges

This might seem like a stupid question for you guys to answer, but I couldn't find this product anywhere. Do you know where to get gauges for an 02 civic that indicate speed in KM/H?? Why you ask?? Just cause I like it more in KM. I would really appreciate some help here. BTW, I haven't been posting here for 7 months, so this question was probably answered this time, but couldn't find it. Thank you!!!!!!!

You don't "need" to change the cluster. You could just do it with an overlay. But the truly all out solution would be to get a full cluster, but then your odo would read in km's too.

For the most part, we're the oddballs out. Some places do use mixes of measurements, like distance in miles but weight in kg. I don't think there's much method to the madness. For the most part it all converts.
Most of the scientific types use metric all the time anyways because its easier to deal with than some of the strange quirks of the british std. system (like slugs and lb-m vs lb-f, etc...). Where I used to work we used to design everything in millimeters then convert the drawings to inches for production because the guys on the floor were used to inches, then when they were sold they were sold in metric sizes. Go figure.

For reference the measurments we use are called "Imperial." Also you could get a ITR cluster, thats in kilometers... but then again you'll havbe a diff redline and all lol.

Just look around. There's places that make custom overlays and will do whatever you want. They can probably do it in parsecs or light years if you want.

Why don't you use the inner scale of your speedo? it's in Km/h, all you have to do is train yourself to read the small numbers not the big ones.
