Gauge Upgrade

Alright guys just finished up engine swap on my 05 5spd civic. I am wanting to upgrade the stock gauges and was looking for recommendations on which direction to head in as far as ease of installation but also leaning towards blue or red led lighting.

Re: Gauge Upgrade

Don't think there's much you can do. Back lighting is LED so you can't change it.

Re: Gauge Upgrade

The EX coupe gauge cluster has a red backlight around the gauges. There are aftermarket gauge faces that you can get to change the look of the gauges too. It's basically a sticker you put over the gauges to give it a different look. Never used them so I can't say first hand how well they work, but be very careful if you end up taking your gauge cluster apart as it is very easy to throw off the calibration of the gauges or damage them. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Free-Ship-T...sAAOSwZW5aA0ok

Here's an 04-05 EX Coupe 5 speed gauge cluster
