Take apart your cluster, and place them overtop your existing ones.
you can move the needles, just dont bend them.

Put the positive wire into fuse #19 under your dash. That is the fuse for your parking lights. If you put it in that fuse the gauges will light up when you turn on your parking lights and headlights. Dont make the mistake i did and tag into wires behind the cluster unless you know which ones are which. Got any more questions let me know. I didnt the same gauges about a week agao in my 94 civic.

i put reverse glows in my integra when i had it and it screwed with my guages... if u bend it a little u can get them through the needles without bending or breaking them... just be very careful... and there are also very small screws that u have to unscrew first before installing the guage faces. its a bit frustrating but if ur patient and take ur time and dont wire anything behind the cluster than it should be fine

I recommend you don't do the indiglo conversion. I think it makes people look like bluish aliens whenever I see them driving around. You should just switch out your bulbs to amber ones.

I considered the indeglo once years ago, but then i did relize, yeah it would look like bluish aliens. But none the less, its you're car, if you're comfortable doing the gauge work, go for it, just be careful, these needles are extremely fragil.

I personally went on the path of doing the integra cluster swap into my civic, looks a million times better than any 5th or 6th gen civic cluster. And it can be done on 92-00 civics.

Good luck

The teg cluster? Its not too difficult

http://www.merritr.com/gauge.html there you have it, follow that guide carefully and you can do a swap, as long as you understand the basics of wiring, it took me a couple hours to get my cluster working correctly.
