OK Guys
The plan was to swap out the EG6 white face/gauges and pots into the the EG5 cluster...
Should have been simply enough and we all know Honda love re-using parts and molds across multiple models to save on production costs........... Well not this time!
The EG6 face/gauges/pots sit higher in the in cluster so the dial shrouds are flush with the white face plates to stop light sneaking out from round the edges, so due to this the EG6 mounting holes/brackets end up being higher and in turn they don't fit into the EG5 cluster properly or safely.
The EG5 on the other hand has thick clear rings round each dial on the shroud to allow light from the edges to add illumination and why they sit lower in the cluster.
So I decided to try swapping over the EG5 rubber PCB board into the EG6 cluster as its only really one pin difference between the two
Seems to have worked quite well including brighter dials and full dimmer function.
Attached photos are with the very old faded stock bulbs well overdue for replacing and upgrading to brighter ones.
So to my question, what's the best colour match for the JDM EG6 orange for the rest of the dash lighting?
