Green light still comming from the milage! Not sure, was thinking about a set for my95



I think you have to take it apart and slide in the white screen filter, you take the black one off and put the white one iin its place!

Just noticed, it says 140 and 8000 revs! and the two pics on ebay are of different dials!

My honest advice would be 'don't do it'... the dials look like Lockwood dials and simply have issues with them... I had mine fitted by a reputable garage but the whole job is so intricate that the needles have never been the same... the speedo is out and so are all the other guages apart from the rev counter... I also have a 95' WRX...

It looks great when illuminated etc... but not worth the hassel... the rest is up to you...

Newer Lockwood dials dont require the needle be removed. If you fit a drop-gear then the original facia can be used. As an alternative Lockwood also make a black dial (112mph) which matches the original facia.

only advise id give is dont bother doing it, serious hassle with needles.... fueel and temp needles cannot be romoved! faces are made to slide on without needles being taken off but getting the old face off isnt as easy as it sounds without snapping the needle off and then needing to buy a new gauge. trust me been there done it ..twice!
