#123640 If you got an OEM Cluster with a Tach/Rev Counter then Just plug everything in and it will work. All 92-95 Civics (except for delsol) Clusters are plug and play with each other. If you get one from Japan with a tach it will plug into a US Market or a UK Market Civic with no tach.

If you have an Aftermarket Tach/Rec Counter then it sounds like you already found the wires you need, The Tach/Rev Counter should have come with instructions as to where need to go. If you want good Wire Daigrams check out the Haynes Repair Manuals, They are available at every part store in the US, I am sure they are on the other side of the pond as well.

#129126 I just piggy-backed mine off of the cluster
connect the red to +ve and the black to -ve and the green to the signal wire on your cluster (that was the easiest for me)

pull your cluster out, on the right hand side there the oem tacho is you will see the philips head screw, undo it and connect the wire there. Alternatively, connect the green wire to the 5th wire on the plug going right to left. Hope it helps, works fine for me, same revs as the oem tachoImage[/img]
