How did you replaced the 2 gas temp gauge and the Rpm/s did you had to weld it? i had to replace my rpm gauge. sauterd it, but didnt work, and it was working prior to taht. lol. does anyone know wat can the problem b?.. am sure i got the weld deep in the hole so its touching.

 

[bidi]

you have to replace the whole gauge cluster. On a '99, you can only replace it with a '99.
What I did was I found a '99 LX gauge cluster with very similar miles to mine (a little higher) and took it's circuit board.
Then I bough a '00 ES gauges cluster and put the LX circuit board in it. The only tools needed are a screw driver and pliars.
Then I just drove till my original DX cluster read the same miles as the modified ES cluster, pulled off to the side of the road, and replaced them.
This wasy everything works and miles match perfectly

(rlaugh) you actually pulled of to the side of the road?
Had the exact same idea but my cluster had less kilometers than mine, so that would mean I had to virtually drive backwards (cryhard)

Fortunately there was a guy just down the block who could put the new mileage on it for cheap.
Now I have a tach, white original facings from a 1.8 GT pre-facelift, facelift bezel and red backlighting. Significantly improves the look.

this picture is way too big. I like the fact that you got the sport 20 bumper. am i tripping or did you mold a lip to the bumper?

I think you're tripping. But i do see where you might have thought there's some molding going on. I see a color difference at the bottom. Repair work maybe? And the pic is definitely too big. You quoting the pic didn't help either, lol.

 

[KZL_99ES]

so would there be anyway that I could get a km/hr face plate... anyone have an extra one?
