Rep Power: 0 DIY: EF::Upgrade to Si Cluster
<!--3 :,( so i decided to upgrade my DX or STD cluster to a Si cluster.
Here is how i changed it
So! i dont know about you but driving with no tachometer got kinda bothersome
See? no RPM Here is how i changed it
Step 1: Pop screw covers off (i used a small flat-head) which are located right under neath the windshield on top of the cluster housing/dashboard and unscrew the screws
Step 2: Unscrew both screws from beneath the cluster (one is on each side of the steering wheel
Step 3: Wiggle off the cluster housing (not sure what the actual name is)
**On my civic my light dimmer and rear glass vent switches are being housed on this piece, simply undo the clips that wire them so that the whole cover can be completely removed.
Step 4: After the housing is removed you will be able to see that the cluster is held up by two brackets it is screwed on. Remove the two front screws. This will make the cluster removable without removing the brackets
Step 5: On the back of the cluster you can see that there are 2 bunches of wires and one cable plugged in to it. Undo the clips and disconnect the cable (with your fingers press down on the clip and gently pull them out of the cluster)
Step 6: Remove your old cluster and place in your "new" Si cluster and plug all the wires back in (Do not mount the cluster onto the brackets just yet, you must first check to see if your "new" cluster is functioning properly. To do this, I turned on my car and drove around the block and refilled on gas checking to see if all the gauges like my temp. speed gas RPM are working properly.) **dont drive like a maniac, this is just a test drive and plus your cluster is loose lol
Step 7: If you got yourself a working cluster, Mount it to both of the brackets and fit the cluster housing back into place. **in the picture im screwing in a screw into the bracket because i accidentally took it off. There no need to take the brackets off just screw the two front screws back in
At this point i hooked up my light dimmer and rear glass venting switched in and they just slide right back into place
Step 8: Screw in the same screws that hold the housing in place
*2 underneath the housing and 2 more under windsield on top of the housing/dashboard
and put the screw covers back into place (they clip in real easy)
ENJOY YOUR "NEW" Si CLUSTER!!!!
