remove them and you can lift the top half up; which makes it a hellova lot easier to remove the ring.

as stated earlier, the wire is reallllly short, and wrapped around another. its the green pair of wires, and after you remove the bulb from the ring, you can untangle it from the other connector, makes it a little easier to get around.

Hope this helps

John.

Can you re-post or PM me the pictures?

does this only light up when the doors are open? while driving, mine isn't on. just curious. i have an 07 sti ltd.

Great write up. Just replaced my key ring with the LED by pro driven auto. Matches my gauges perfectly. To 93V i noticed I had to really make sure the bulb was completely seated in order for it to light up. (Snaps down alot further than I initially thought.)

I have the stock one still in. When does yours light up? All the time?

rjp4419 · 10-01-2011, 05:58 PM

anybody have an updated diy? or info on what bulb is needed?

djtoone · 10-02-2011, 07:47 PM

I opened up my 04 WRX steering column and found the bulb. It is TINY.

Autozone, O’Riley, Checker, etc don't have bulbs that small. I was told to check with Radio Shack and maybe NAPA.

I’d like to figure out the bulb size/number... then I can ask for it more accurately in person, or just find a new one online. Maybe Subaru dealership parts departments could look it up...

thorracing160 · 12-31-2011, 08:01 PM

ummm i cant find were to get these condom covers...

RSXNTN · 12-31-2011, 08:16 PM

Its pretty tiny so depending on what color you're looking for you could probably just color the bulb with a sharpie.

Parts Express has stopped carrying the red .2 bulb covers... can't seem to find an alternative

djtoone · 04-15-2012, 07:58 PM

Any luck finding red bulb covers for the .2 bulb?

Atombong420 · 07-12-2012, 11:41 AM

It's a 74 led. Found at suberbrightleds for like 2-3 bucks.

Have had it in my STi for ever, no issues.
