Trying to find someone who has or knows how to get the dash lights to work with the UK type R cluster. Thanks for your help in advance.

I dont have the cluster yet, I was looking to see if there was a fix for it before I went ahead a got one. Its got to be something as simple as a relay. hmmmm.

if you wouldnt mind that would be great. The CTR has their dimmer switch in the dash, id assume that you'd have to take the US switch out of the US cluster and wire it into the JDM one to get it to work right. Let me know if you have any luck.

either that or maybe an older civic that has a dimmer in the dash can be wired in!

Hey I am buying a ctr gauge cluster and I was wondering if it was plug in play or if I am going to have to do a lot of modification.

IT IS PLUG AND PLAY THE ONLY THING YOU WILL LOOSE IS THE DIMMER FOR THE DASH LIGHTS AND ALSO THE LIGHTS FOR THE CLIMATE CONTROL BUT THAT CAN BE JUMPED OUT SO THEY WORK OTHER THAN THAT IT'S EASY. I HAVE A UK DASH WHICH IS IN MPH I DONT KNOW IF THE JAP ONE IN KM IS THE SAME WAY!

What do you have to jump to get the lights to work?

that would be great because it really freaks my friends out that I rev my car to 8g when the redline shows 6700
