They come on constantly, otherwise you can't see the numbers at all. They're translucent.

yes it worked anyway I think

looks sweet. I have full brightness for day time and one notch down for night. Now the dash lights I did look too red, so I might go out to find some colored plastic sheets and redo em.

Thanks TAZ! Your hints kept me from getting stuck. So does anyone know what that extra wire is for that we don't use? I still wanna know why I don't have that green/black wire. Hopefully its not something important.

smash the cluster with a hammer. if you're lucky, the green light will fall out.

finally got around to doing mine. couple things i noted was 1 of the color wires was missing from my plugs, i forget which color, i also had 1 left over wire from i believe the green harness. i left it out and everything works/lights up so i dont know what it went to, lol. and the mystery white/red wires, you wanna use the white/red from the green harness. and also the highbeam light comes on when i turn on my headlights but turns off when i turn on the highbeams, lol other than that, these gauges are way better than any aftermarket indiglos. plus mine had WAY less miles than the guy told me...only 1020 instead of 10,000+

you have the cluster already? How far did you get that you're getting stuck? If we have another meet over there, I could drive up and help out.

its pretty easy once you figure out which wire goes where. hardest part for me was figuring out how to get the wires out, 1 day i spent almost an hour trying to get 1 wire out and i ended up tearing it up, then gearbox told me theres clips on each side of the plugs after i took those off it was a snap, lol.

hmm well I figured out the light that doesn't work. Its for the oil pressure. Can anyone else try and see if it comes on for them? It should appear when you turn the car to ON but not start it. Mine doesn't come on at all but the rest do.

Anyone have a honda electrical manual handy?

okay i might be onto something. I looked and its the same wire for oil pressure. So I need to look and see where that wire is going from old to new. I'll post back in an hour or so after I look at it more. I'm thinking there might be an error in the original diagram, or it could be the wire I was missing.

i don't get it. I found the oil pressure wire, and it was connected where it should be on the blue plug. It's wire yel/red in blue plug B4. Now what? Does it not come on like the rest of the lights? I thought it did with the old cluster.

Well its only the light. If you have side airbag and no light for it on the cluster, then it won't light up. The airbag should still work, butyou just won't know if it has a problem (light won't come on later). Why didn't you look for a canadian cluster especially for the kph.

Im an idoit thats why and it is real hard 2 find these clusters here in Toronto. Im hearin there should be no problem but was real curious on the DRL, SRS, and the SIDE AIRBAGS. Im swappin it into my 2001 EL. Im jus prayin 2 G.O.D. dat it will work and it has the Side Airbags or if push comes to shove i'll jus order the Km/h and replace the MP/H. Should make a difference correct???

ya it should work fine. You just wont have the lights working. They're only warning lights those systems will still work. And you can always swap it with the same kph later. The newer clusters all have the same wiring.
