FItted some dials that the kids got me for Christmas today.

In daylight they're white which is a little chavvy and the Subaru Impreza tag isn't the most classy

However, when they are lit up at night thy do look quite good





I know they won't be to everyone's taste, but it is my car so

Cheers for the comments, I was expecting them to be a little more contraversial.

The only issues I've had with fitting is the CEL doesn't quite line up. Also finding somewhere to fit the switch - this is th dimmer and also switches between green and blue lights; those pics are blue but the green isn't much different.

Once I'd found the correct wires to splice into for the illumination (purple and black on the right hand plug) it took about 30 minutes.

It was so easy I could rip it all out and start again doing a step by step photo thing, but if you are intelligent enough to get out of bed in the morning you can fit these

The dials slip over the needles so you don't even need to take them off and it is 5 screws to remove the dials from the car, 2 for the cowling and 3 for the dials themselves.
