Dave that rocks....you got waaaaaay too much time Awesome detail...captions and all. We should've had you be the first one to do it!

Only question was that I dont think you have to remove those 2 screws to take off the ring around the ignition. Atleast I don't remember doing that.

Great job again

Yeah I didnt the first time and the light just doesnt have a whole lotta play so I figured it was easier to just do it. I have a couple steps there that are a bit overkill and too many pictures, but Im obsessive compulsive and have do things the long, but usually safe, way.

Great job on the pictorial step-by-step instructions!

Can't wait to see what your next project will be.

Friggin' sweet dude!!

Can you tell us where you got the 'rubbers'? Also, just in case the bulbs were handled incorrectly and broke, what type bulb is it?

Agreed with everyone above - great job on the step-by-step! Awesome! If someone ever gives me an STi this'll be one of the first few things I'm going to do to it.

MEHLT ordered them from somewhere online. Will have to have him chime in here or you can PM him. Not sure what bulbs they are. Shouldnt be too big of a problem, they seem very sturdy. You only really handle the keyring light the rest stay seated and you just sorta yank off the green rubbers.
