what did you have to do to put it in the cluster like that?

I started out by removing the cluster from the car. Then I removed the front clear cover along with the black cover that lays on top of the gauges. if you turn it around you can see little squares that the "warning lights" shine through. The last one to the right is unused and black (no light will come through). drill the hole for your led and install it. When you put the black cover back on the cluster then you'll see where you can "fish the wire through the cluster. Then hook up the wire as stated in this DIY.

The only thing I can say is recheck everything one more time, as annoying as that sounds. Is there a resistor on the LED you used? Make sure the LED works...

You might wanna check your wiring one more time. make sure the led works and has a proper resistor. I know the first time I did it I didn't have a good ground so I grounded it to the radio negative wire. also... don't use speaker wire it won't carry good power through them.

Check your wires, theres 2 gray plug that plug into the ECU that has the GREEN with Yellow strip. Its the one closes to the firewall tap the GREEN with Yellow Strip.

Yeah, the OP should make it clearer I did the same mistake. BTW the vtec wire is the same for v4 and v6.

No.

Now sell your car, you shouldn't be on the road if you have to ask a question like this.

When someone bumps a 5 month old thread with such a ridiculous question I cannot help but be sarcastic.
