Why would a service manual for cars sold in Japan be printed in english? The wiring between the USDM and JDM clusters should be the same, the only real difference is your going to have to lengthen a lot of wires because your cluster came out of a RHD car.
the curvature of your guage face isnt gonna work ..look at it, im sure it curves from the tach, out towards the speeds since its supposed to be in on the right hand side, vs your fac one that curves from the speedo back to the tach, not sur if it makes sense, but look at the 2 cluster from the top and youll see what i mean, to change it youll need the front plastic cover from a US car, maybe a yard, or haonda..if you use a 92-93 one i think it will look funny, since thatf ront piece is smoked like the rest of the dash in the 94 up and the 93 is clear..there ya go..peace

man i have the JDM cluster right here, and u should take a look for urself to know what im talkin about, there are tons of wires that dont match, especially color wise...that why i was wondering if someone had the jdm wiring diagram....
and yea i know the plastic piece bends towarsd the right the JDM one, so i got the USDM one from the dealer and modified it to fit the JDM cluster...
Originally posted by prelude styl The difference in the wires isn't from it being JDM, it's from it being an EL gauge. There's write ups on this site to help you.
naw naw man, i aint that new to this stuff.....i have read everythin i can find on this side and others, and i compared the write ups, and most of the wires aint machin up, thats why i wondered if any peeps with jdm conversions on their cars might have a jdm helms.....but i doubt now
All you really need to do is get a 1996 Helms electrical manual and compare the wires. I know JDM's do have different color wires, but the pin connections are still the same. I put an EL cluster in my 93 (it was USDM) and it was simply a matter of just comparing the two wiring diagrams and figuring out which wire went where. It's definately gonna require some thinking, but like I said, the pin connections are the same.
