Ok thanks, mine's standard black though, bulb wise I had a blue, a red, a clear then nothing, god know what was going on, all the originals were in the glove box....I'll have another look at tomorrow, but I'm really buggered. If I saw something obvious, it'd be different, see what happens.
Yea, never had a cable like that before, I prefer the clocks from the 98 sport ie the fuel and temp at the left....plus because it's a UK spec, you get a wee digital above them, you get bugger all in the wrx, which I think's bollox!
