You have to take the bottom part of the console out to get at the back of the *** lighter,then trim down the back of the led then insert from the back of the lamp holder so the back of the led is sticking out of the back of the metal holder,then reconect the lamp power.

BlitzSTI5 -

Sorry if I managed to miss you mate, been out of the office alot lately. If you can e-mail me, Paul.Houbart@TheGecko.biz, I'm out (again) on Monday but should be back in on Tuesday. Email is the best way to contact me, though.

I wasn't aware of selling to any (other) STI5 owners, which model year is it you've got ?

We are waiting for the new batch of 5mm lamps to come in when I know I will let everyone else know.

Or look up Gecko motorsport

? ummmmmmm yes to the Red ones and Yello Green and Blue.

Soon to be in 5mm type as well for the new age lot as well as anything else that takes them.

I will try and get hold of Paul @ Gecko for you and let him know whats going on if not you will have to deal with me for the lamps

I know he has been very busy of late doing other stuff he's involved in as well, I will say sorry on his behalf and try and get him on scoobynet for you ASAP

I think I'll be posting a cheque too soon - they look excellent. I'm planning on combining the blue dash with a set of HKS's indiglo gauges - if anyone has this arrangement already I'd love to see a few pics.

CeeDee - I remember seeing those pics you posted of the HKS guages, they looked fantastic - I think coupling them to blue dials will look stunning. Hoe about posting that tunnel pic again?
