on procarparts.com they have these gauges for sale... any word on how much of a pain in the ass they are to install or get installed? anyone have them on their car so i can see? also any tips on the company good or bad? thanks

 

oh... and also... on the site they say for japan build accords only... how can i tell if mine is or not? VIN number?

 

i have them in my car....



here they are at night.



it really depends on what Generation of accord you have. not all of them are easy, i only have experience with the 90-93 accords. others will tell you as they come along. if you have a 4th gen like mine 90-93 its a ***** cuz you have to tear apart the dash just to get the guage cluster out.

it took me and a buddy aprox 1 hr. 30 min. cuz we wanted to make sure everything came out and went back in correctly

and it doesn't matter if your car is JDM or USDM as long as they are for the right year and for the right car it works fine.

and ProCarParts.... very good place to deal with, fast shipping

 

5th gen is a b*tch too. hafta take out the whole center console n dash.

 

personally, i don't want to risk messing up the needles.

 

don't be a punk lol. i did it and had no problem replacing my temp needle h:

 

alright... well heres the issue, is there a difference in japan built and american built accords... mine is 5th gen and ill have someone install them, mine is amercian build cause the VIN is 1HD... is there something special about the gauges on the japan built ones

 

Um, in Japan do they go by MPH or KMH??? hmmmm.. there are not that bad to do yourself, I did mine.
