My HUD cluster's speedo quit working on me, so I tried to replace the capacitor, and now I have no backlighting.

So I want to switch to an analog cluster. Only thing is I'm in Canada so I'd want a cluster in km/h, either Canadian, or JDM.

Just to verify what I've read from searching:

1. I need a cluster that's 91-94 right?

2. If I use 89-90 can i swap in the tach from my HUD cluster?

3. I know I'll need the cluster sub harness. Can I use a 91-94 JDM cluster with a JDM sub harness?

4. Is there any difference between the 89-90 and 91-94 sub harnesses?

Thanks in advance

sub harnesses are all the same. You need to match the tach to your motor (in other words DOHC tach to DOHC motor) so if you can't find a 91-94 cluster just swap the tach, it's just 3 screws........


I think I have a spare sub harness if you need one, just pm me.....

Thanks. What's the difference between different number gauge clusters? IE: x40, y81, x95, x88, y23 etc etc.... will any of these work for me?
