USDM EL and JDM EL gauge Qestion?!

So if i were going to pick up a 94si EL gauge cluster and a 94si Vtec gauge cluster,
Would i be able to just swap the JDM speedometer and RPM tack off and replace it onto the USDM speedometer and RPM ??

Reason why i am asking this is because i have a JDM 94si vtec cluster and i cant wire it up so that it would work.

I had a USDM 96 Si EL gauge cluster and a JDM EL Gauge cluster. I swapped the faces and needles of the JDM cluster into the USDM cluster housing. You have to do some trimming but it works easily. I think that's what you're asking?

LAst Question!

Would i be able to Take a JDM Si Vtec Instrument cluster speedometer tack and swap it over to a USDM Automatic SI?

Would it work or the Automatic has a different wiring pattern?

I want it to work on my 92 Si Vtec. Please let me know Asap!

As long as both are EL gauge clusters or both are analog clusters, you can. You'll just have to do some trimming to the gauge faces to get it to fit.
