Clock Upgrade
We started with our standard clocks which we didnt like....
Then upgraded to 2005 red needle WRX clocks from a 2005 Model fitted with white LED's again better but still not happy
So finally got the right clocks and after 2 days of fiddling with wires and relays im happy

Out of a hawk I think now looking at them I know you have to remove a green film off the back of the dials on the earlier newage clusters and it just removing the twist lock bulbs and replacing with t5 leds but its sorting out the hotspots form the leds I'm having problems with at the moment and the headlight leveller switch is a right pain replacing all the leds and soldering new ones in

Looks good, I've got the second set waiting to go into mine as my gauges all light up white
I've just unsoldered the bulb and removed it, but then again, I've also removed all of my ABS

I believe all of the blob WRX ones come up white, plus being WRX clocks they are a lot cheaper than STI ones. They still need a second earth to sort out the handbrake warning light and a relay for the ABS. There is a thread somewhere telling you how to do it

How do you get around the milage issue,
I want do swooping dial mine but mines low milage and When I still a higher milage clock will I then when I swap my old dials back in will it go up on that one?
Thanks Dan

The mileage will be whatever is stored in the clocks - you can get them reset for about £30-40 iirc but you'd have to ask around for who does it. I was lucky and got clocks within about 1000 miles of mine which for an 11-year old car is fine
