From a couple other pics I've seen, it looks more like the white gauges will fit the HF cluster better. Look and see how close my trip odo is to the speedo needle. The HF cluster seems to have more of a gap between the needle and the trip odo numbers. Plus when you're done you'll have a speed signal for future use.

Well, I am putting together the HF/Si cluster combo together for my B series swap. I almost had my wire harness for less than $50, damn sniping bstards!

Oh, for anybody that needs a wire harness for a B series swap, look into the 99/00 harness. From what I have been told, it will drop right in (for my DX anyway), with everything on it, and I just need to do the loom inside the car.

As far as difficulty, how much auto repair work have you done? It's not hard, but experience helps.

ive done quite a bit of auto work, and i had a 1g teg cluster laying around cause i was gunna see if i could use anything from it when i get the indiglos and i ripped it apart. i didnt have any problems except the tach and speedo needles. i got them off but it took some pryiung. i just wasnt sure about the temp and fuel needles, it was easy to get them off but i think itll be a pain putting them back on. i think ill grab a spair cluster for the rex before i dig into the install. and i think me and my dremel can make the silver panel with just a bit of work and patients (sp?)

too bad they don't make them for the 3G civic's, and in KM/H...or else i'd buy them!!!

There's no way of easily converting the dash to the CRX dash is there?

Nightstalker.
Before you put the tach and speedo needles back on, install the cluster loosely back in with the clear plastic piece off connectors plugged in. Then turn the car on, engine off, set your tach to 0. The speedo is the same, set to 0 at rest.

The temp gauge will move all around to set it where you want. The gas gauge, ah yes, the flipping gas gauge!!! Look really closly at it before you take it apart. There is a pin on the bi-metalic strip of the gas gauge the rides in the link to the needle. Look closely and study this. I didn't and after the third time of taking the dash apart, I think I got it. Time will tell, but my gas gauge has finally moved off of full instead of being stuck at half.

[Coy]
