Gauge Swap Question DX to EX
Hey Everyone, Im new to Honda-Acura Net and I just wanted to tell you all I have been visiting it a thousand times in the past couple days and I thought it looked like a great site so I had to join .. But newayz I just wanted to know If any of you knew if I could put an OEM 92-95 EX Gauge Cluster into my 1994 DX Civic... I know the EX has a tachometer which is the main reason I want it, but is there anything I have to buy or does my car already have a plug to go into the tachometer and the other gauges and stuff on there ...

can you do something like that for a 2004 civic dx? switch the instrument panel from a lx or ex? because i like the look of the instrument gauge from the lx and ex more plus it has a tach. anyone knows?

Edit: i forgot to mention where the screws are, 2 are right above the gauges and one is right behind the hazard switch, just pry the hazard switch off and there it is. be carefull not to rip out the black bezel, it can be a pain in the ass to take out. as for the 4 screws on the cluster, they are just on the corners
