changin cluste

I want to change my cluster with a SI cluster.... I currently have the se model that does not come with a tach so i want one...

Problem is i found one with high mileage , is there a way i can reverse the odometer to my current mileage, and if i decide to sell the car in the future , would i run into any problems for changin the original cluster to another one

First of all - its illegal to tamper with an odometer. If I were you I would change the cluster ( you have te plugin behind your cluster for rpm so your goodthere ) and roll back the odometer to my current mileage. Only way you will be in a predicamet is if you entered the mileage off your new cluster when reporting your milege upon renewal. It's obious you didn't but be careful with the roll back. Easy to mess it up

So today i swap the cluster with the SI one ... I took mine out and opened both cluster , put the odometer of y old cluster into the SI cluster so that there are not issues with the odometer reading , also i swap the cover from my old cluster into the one i bought , since the one i bought had a scratch... pretty straigh forward ... RPM gauge works fine


However , i want to change the light bulbs in this cluster ... I read that you can put LEDs bulbs to make it look brighter..
I went to a couple of stores and nobody has them ... does anyone here know where to get these bulbs and what size are the ones i need...

i drive a 2000 civic SE


thanks
