I've got them in mine, look

Dunno how much they were cos they were in the car when I bought it!

I shouldnt imagine they would be any more difficult to fit than a set of Lockwood white dials.

You cheeky fooker Steve.

Surely its only a matter if wiring it into the existing loom! You get a little control box that connects to the dials to adjust colour and brightness. This box then has connections into the existing illumination loom.

plasma dials cool "but for the money"
no instructions at all
just a plain box
..just as well new wot to do
dont push needles back to much or clocks dont work
blue is better than green but on a sapphire sierra..
you have to cut and mod the bottom of the clocks..look
though dont catch the wires replacing back the clocks..
like pcb boards very fragile..lockwoods suck via this will post pick how ya do it
