There is a post here SOMEWHERE re: installing a light ring around the keyhole on the stearing column. It's not a DIY/tech article. Search function gives you every damned thing BUT the one thread I want.

I'm tired of looking, who knows where it's at?

 

the light ring is a Japanese OEM Option. It features a green capped bulb and a clear plastic ring that u put on.

u can change the cap's color as well..

has one on his car.. PM him: BBIST

 

does this fit the xA too?

 

What do you need to know...? I'de be more than happy to help you.

well... is there a part # if available in the US, and if JDM, who's carrying it? I need one.

 

The light up ring is a JDM part and we do carry this item, but it is on back order. Possibly next month.

Steve, do you know if it'll work on the xA? What does the install consist of..?

 

i would like to know more about this too...

 

I'm not sure if it fits the xA, I don't see why it wouldn't. The light up ring goes between the top and bottom trim around the ingnition key and comes with harnesses that just plug into the fuse box (goes between the door trigger harness).

doesn't the tC come with the lighted ring? wonder if one could just use that part # and retrofit it to both x's...hmmm

 

Yes indeed the tC does have that ring. I need to try and pop it out so I can see about changing the color... it's clear right now.

 

i just got one of these from newscionparts.com
unfotunately, the installation manual is in japanese. hopefully i will do ok with the pictures and not have to bust out the good ol japanese dictionary..

 

cool, post pics please when u get it installed :D

 

i want to see the pics

 

school started up this week so i will not likely be able to get to it until this weekend. that and my digicam sucks ***** so i have not taken any pics of my car yet, but i will see what i can do..

 

yea ditto. ive been waiting for someone to get this. im tired of stabbing my steering column because i cant find the hole. do a write up while your at it so once i get one, i can do this and then we'll add it to tech section

thanks

scott

 

Sounds like a personal problem scott.

got the part and installed it little over a year ago. as i recall it took about 10 mins. really, forgot it was there until i saw it mentioned here again. about 1 out of 10 on the install scale for even the most incompetant people.
