JDM 94-00 ACURA INTEGRA DC2 GAUGE CLUSTER

Hi, this is probably a very discussed thing, but I couldn't find the info I need, so please excuse me. I want to install this cluster in my 1994 D16Z6 EG... will it work? I know it fits after some modifications. But is this one with the glowing needles of the clusters? What indicators should I expect not to work, like maybe the light for the hatch? Will there be a light for low fuel level, because there is currently and I am not sure if the integra gauge will have the light and it will work?

The one I want to buy is from E-bay, item number: 280324043847

I couldn't find the topic about the cluster install, it was very good mod and install - looked almost stock.

Also, what additional modifications will I need? Is there anything else I should buy?

Thank you in advance! :)

i have one in my civic, its not the JDM one, but some of the lights that i have found out that don't work are just the open door ones, and there is no cruise control switches on the integra one's so that light doesn't work but im pretty sure everything else does if you wire it right.

So, when I hit the bottom of the fuel tank the light will light up?

I just bought a cluster with no plastic cover /glass/ for only 20$... I think it is a good deal :)

actually that is the other one that doesn't work, unless somehow you rig a wire to do that for yours it wont, unless for some reason your car came with that little thing on your original cluster and you wire it up it should work, but if your car doesn't have it, it wont work.

Well, currently, my original cluster DO have a light and it lights up every time it reaches around 5 liters. So, It won't work? :(

don't quote me on this, but if your cluster you have now has a little light, and the new cluster has something of the same idea, and you wire it up right then it will work.

We will see... the cluster should come to my door in a week or so. I have to gather some materials so I can start doing the swap as soon as it arrives.

I wander which way to go - with plexiglas cover or with the stock EG cover. The only problem I can run into is the damn reset for the odometer. I just can't figure out the system. But... we'll see. :)

Is there a way to match the milage on the new cluster with the milage on my old one. You know, like 120 000 to 120 000... I want them to be the same, is it possible without braking the thing?

My stock cluster has 175 000, and the new one has 088 474. So, I have to move it forward. I just wanted to clarify so you don't think I am trying to do something illegal.
