I got and Installed an Si Gauge Cluster!

[IAIA]

I got it for $40 from some guy in Glen Burnie. It is raining like a ***** outside so I drove to the mall across the street and parked under the Parking Garage and did all the work there.

It was all easy except popping off those damn covers and unscrewing those screws since the windshield gets in the way. And I couldn't get the Defroster and Dimmer Switch cables to unhook so it was a very tight squeeze. But I got it all together and started the car and bang the Tach needle jumped and when you turn on the Lights the Cluster lights up a lot and looks really cool.

Awesome mod to do for anyone who doesn't have a Tach.



I also ran a few more coats of Touch Up Paint on the messed up areas and they are looking better each coat I put on.

Nice having a tach now isn't it. Pretty easy since it is just plug and play. Nice job.

Yeah if it wasn't for the fact I was working in such a tight area it wouldn't have been hard. The only thing is I couldn't get my Dimmer Switch Cable and Defroster Cable unhooked so I could barely squeeze the Clusters back in and out.

yeah, it's only hard if you go from 88-89 to 90-91 or vice versa. only a moron would do that. oh, and if anyone wants my old 89 si cluster and has an extra temp gauge to put on (i broke my needle off messing with stupid indiglo gauges) let me know. congrats on the si cluster dude.

This one is from an 88 CRX Si. And my HB is an 89.

If anyone has one in km/h i would love to get it! Btw it must be 90-91. I was also wondering if anybody knew if an 89 Crx dash will work with my existing defroster/dimmmer switch and guage cluster by using a 90-91 guage hood.

the dimmer switch, although different, will work, however the defroster is different.

But what about the guage cluster, can i still use a 90-91 cause the wiring is different for the 88-89 as well as the guage hood. Can i use my existing cluster and hood with a rex dash?
