Rep Power: 232 Civic Hybrid Gauges Installed! Question on paint
I just got my hybrid gauges installed. They are for an automatic even though I dont have one but I really dont care all that much. Since the water temp gauge does not work with hybrid gauges I bought a pillar pod with water temp, oil temp, and oil pressure. They light up blue also. The pillar pod that I got was black and I have seagull grey for the color on the plastic pillar pieces. Anybody know of a paint that matches the grey?

I installed it. The wires on the hybrid cluster were the same colors as the ones on my 04 EX cluster (the one that lights up red). All I did was match the colors up. there were a few extras left on the hybrid cluster and one white one from the EX cluster. I have no ****in clue what the white wire does. It isnt on any wiring diagrams I have

I bet you have a couple wires hooked up a little wrong, and you could get those 2 gages to work.

I matched up the diagrams. I have like 6 extra wires on the hybrid cluster. one of them could be the water temp gauge. I ran out of time but I will try to see if I can figure out what they do this weekend. The other ones I am 100% sure are correct.

I have an 04 2dr EX. I had 2 diff wiring diagrams for both vehicles mine and hybrid. After writing down what each wire did for each car I put the 2 lists together and then connected the wires. From talking to another guy that put in hybrid gauges, his water temp didnt work either. One thing that I do notice is that it tells me I now get 120 MPG!

one of the pics was when you first turn the key so, yes all of them are on. I do have my brake light on and my srs light on though. I need to reset the srs light from my rsx seat install and figure out why the hell my brake light is on. It came on after I changed my pads and painted my calipers. Any ideas?

I am sorry man I forgot to get you that wiring. I will sit down tonight and type it up. The battery from what I can remember goes into the ECU.

I have been messing with all the extra wires and I cant seem to get anything esle to light up except for random warning lights. I do not believe it is possible to get the other gauges to light up with out resoldering some circuits. I will not attempt this task however.
