2pcs T3 T4 T5 NEO Wedge Xenon White Dash LED Bulbs | eBay

in my 02 WRX...they are definitely these...T3 bulbs.

The OEM ones are white with a coloured "condom" if memory serves...so you can just buy a whole new coloured LED set or just 1 green one...

Couldn't find bugger all info relating to a GC8 though...


EDIT;

buy these;

There is a tutorial on rexnet I'm sure. Haven't pulled mine apart in a whole but I think you need to undo the screw (s) holding in the cup holder and the HIVAC unit just clips off.

Disconnect your climate control "tube" just take it off and you might need to unplug your cigarette lighter plug.

I'll post the link when I get on a pc :-)

They are in the circuit board... You need to get a flat head screwdriver and turn them anti clockwise about 1/2 a turn.

They are little grey circles... If that helps
