gauges? is it really that simple PLuG n PlaY? let me know...

okay to avoid all legal ish nets.. my car currently has 70,200 miles on it.. i purchased a gauge from a junkyard dealer that has 70, 700 miles on it....

1. This gauge cluster came out of a 99’ CIVIC EX AUTOMATIC, i should have no problems wit it being that my car is a 2000 civic ex sdn auto. is that correct?

2. on my car my ind. clusters are "screwed", can i simply unscrew the ind. cluster gauges from my car and swap them out wit the replacement cluser, ie. manually ind. take out the speedometer on my car and take out the speedometer from the junkyard one and swap it out keepin my original casing all that? is it that simple or not?


the reason i would like to to this...is cuz the junkyard one represents comning from the junkyard, as in rther then jus sim0ply swappin out the entire cluster i would like to.... becuase the junkyard one has markings, paint, graffiti all over it....jus swap out the ind. gauge clusters...

i ho0pe this makes sense and more importantly that its possible...

i'm sick of no Fuel measurement gauge and my mph being off by 40-50 mph and no rpm's...


thanks all for your time and input!!

p.s. what happened this place used to be knockin? by now mad peoples would have responded? did i miss something? oh yeah search turned up nada on this...

If I remember correctly, 99-00 was a half-generation, officially part of the 6th gen civics, but a lot of body panels/etc didn't quite match up. So the two years share almost everything, and you should be able to swap out the cluster with no problems. You should actually be able to just swap out the entire panel, but you can do indevidual gauges if you want.

Just don't forget to swap your old odometer into the new car, otherwise the reading will be inaccurate, and legally you'll have to notate that on your title when you sell it. It's like a 2 minute job to do, especially since your swapping everything else also.
