well i have an 02 DX and i got a cluster out of an 01 EX off ebay for 50 bucks shipped! it was awesome, plug and play needed to buy a couple bulbs for it, and the ABS light stays on because it thinks there is somehting wrong with my ABS because my car doesnt have it and it thinks it should, so thats kinda annoying but it was definitely worth the 50 bucks haha but look in a salvage yard, then if nothing, check on ebay

Yep all you need is an EX cluster (96-00's use the same gauges). When you get an EX cluster you can swap over the speedometer/odometer unit from your DX cluster to the EX cluster to keep the mileage exact. Simply have to take off the clear bezel, the two black bezel's (one holds the front flood light, and the other goes over/around the gauges) and then unscrew the four screws holding the speedo/odometer in from the back and repeat in reverse.

Yep I just did it and it was super easy. I got mine from a ex and its plug and play. You can get it from any model though if it has a tach.

any 96-00 EX or SI cluster has a tach and they are both plug and play, or you can always get an aftermarket tach, they're real easy to hook up but not as clean as a cluster tach. Ebays your best bet

ditto on it being super easy... there's 2 screws holding the dash trim in around the cluster, 4 screws, 4 plugs holding the cluster in... swap the speedo/odometer, and away reverse of install...

EX clusters can be found for $50ish on ebay, Si clusters for a lot more...

there were some LX with tach as well (option in the LX model)

if you have an automatic, make sure to get a cluster for the auto, to retain the indicator on the dash for what gear you're in
