Remove the dashboard lower cover. should have knobs on the both side that you twist to remove them:



Removed:



Then remove the upper column cover by removing the 3 screws off lower column cover:



Scoot your seat all the way back. You have to get your head all the way inside/under the dash. If you look up under the dash you will find 2 screws at the top (philips) remove both of them. Image shows one of the screws located on the right side of the cluster:



Once the screws are removed, reach out the the back of the cluster and push the cluster out. Or pull it out from uptop. Then disconnect the connectors and remove the gauge.



Install the gauge cluster in reverse order of removal. You are done! JDM.

looks sweet as man... is it possible to do it to an EG?

Good job! Looks real good even in the dark!! Too bad the red line is 500 higher and KPH dropped down to 180.

Thanks man. Loving it. Not too worry about 180, couldnt really hit 180 in Melbourne City.

What happens to the KMs reading? As in how many KMs your car has done?

[kongfu]

yes.same question as TEMP asked.will your KMS back to zero or sth like that?

[jdmlvn]

ahh. u can set how many km u want if u get a new cluster. u can set it back to the km rating when u bought the car. mayb it will giv u better market value

[turbo81]

nope you cant set the mileage. The mileage is stored in the cluster itself. my bro is lucky enough to get the JDM cluster that has about 130kms higher than the stock one.
