Default Clocks being changed advice please?

Ok peeps I have a 2001 Bugeye WRX And I have just brought some 2001 Bugeye Sti (not dcd type) Clocks

My question is ? How easy are these to change over and is there anything I might have to do to get them to work and is it a straight forward change ?

Here is a pic of the clocks I have bought!

If anything like classic:

1. Undo 3 screws holding plastic casing around steering column/ ignition key, remove lower casing / drop upper casing.

2. Lower steering column via lever.

3. Undo two screws holding plastic clock facia and remove.

4. Remove 4 screws holding clocks in place (take care not to knock off trapped nut clips - can be hard to find if you do) and pull clocks forward to gain access to connection blocks.

5. Reassemble.

It's a straight swap but the miles will stay with the clocks, so your mileage will appear to have changed.
