Will the JDM RHD Speedometer Cluster fit in USDM ludes?

Anyone know if just the Speedometer Cluster from a JDM Prelude will fit into the USDM preludes?

No it wont, I got trick into buyin one on ebay!! Because the JDM one sits on the right side of the ludes it wont fit...but i still managed to put it in, not the cluster tho...just the face gauges!!! there were some cuttin involved but in the end...it looks good...plus you cant see where u cut because when you put it back together its all covered up!!! i'll post some pix of it for ur viewing enjoyment soon!!!

myke, jsut replace the plastic in the front, besides that i'm almost positve they drop in if you dont have the EL gauges.

that slight curve is what myke is talkn about i presume. that can be changed bye just taking the outter plastic off your USDM;s and slap it on the JDMs

The wires/wire harnesses in the dash are backwards on the JDM gauge, and plus i re-routed the wire harnesses and the gauges did not work!!!! the signals and the highbeam light indicator worked...but the needles did not move!!!

Ahhh, screw it then, I'm not gonna bother with getting the JDM Speedometer Cluster. I don't wanna go through the trouble in trying to fit it into my dash. I will just wait till I can find a regular 94-96 style Electro speedometer cluster. Are those just plug and play? Or do I have to do something special with the wires?
