first you have to get that black column that is infront of the gauge cluster off,..it is held on by 2 screws that are at the top,..and then 2 tabs that are at the bottom,..once that is off,..there are 4 screws holding on the gauge cluster itself,..once you get those 4 screws,..take out the gauge cluster enough to see 2 harnesses connected to the back,..unplug those,..installation of the new cluster is the complete opposite of the removal of the old cluster,...oh and about those 2 tabs i was talking about earlier,..i just broke those and my black column still goes in with a problem,...sorry its kinda a shitty how to but its a fairly simple install,...good luck

Haynes manual has a decent instruction set on this one. I've had mine out following those instructions... Nothing broke. Follow the instructions. With a little bit of basic knowledge, you can do it easily.

like i said above,..there is only 2 harness plugs in the back of your existing cluster,..unplug those and then plug them in the same spot on the new cluster,...its all plug and play

Stock Gauge Pod:
EX Gauge Pod:
Stupidly enough no wire modding was needed, Just pull out the old, plug in the new. It already had everything for the tach, cant imagine that costing too much more for honda to just throw in.
