e-volve -

You should have no major problems fitting these to a MY96 car - I've done it to a MY94 car, and it wasn't a major job. As long as your happy pulling out the main instrument panel, these are simply plug and play for the originals. Doing the heater controls is a bit more work, but again getting to the bulbs is not difficult. You shouldn't need to modify anything on your car, only the bulbs for the heater controls may need slight modification.

Any queries, e-mail me on Paul.Houbart@TheGecko.biz

HKSubaru -

If you need to order some, you can contact me via e-mail, Paul.Houbart@TheGecko.biz, or on 07803 298 611. I can't process credit cards yet, probably be at least a couple of weeks, but cheques are no problem.

Let me know, and I'll see what we can do !

All those enquiries posted to me should have mail - some more stock is on the way, but there's plenty of people interested !

I'll be in Le Man from Tuesday 11 for a week, but any orders sent to me will be processed by my partner, and my e-mail and mobile will be monitored during my "business" trip.

Question

Has anyone converted a Lockwood white dial kit to blue lighting? What was the result?
The Lockwood dials appear to be made from a translucent green sheet, and I wondered how that would affect the emitted colour.

btw; The clock is now REALLY blue as well in my dash ;-) I don't know why I didn't try it before, but theres a lamp behind the clock aswell, and replacing this with a blue one worked well. So, now I've finished the dash at least. Only the heatcontrols left now ;-) Could take some time...

SSE: It's still on Norwegian plates, as I plan to bring it back home again in a year or so. That's why it's economical ;-) If you thought cars were expensive in Norway you should try Denmark!
