There was a thread hiding somewhere in the TT forums with links to someone who was re-pinning looms to suit various black faced dials. From memory there were slightly different pinouts for each models gauges.

MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.

That's the original forum someone here linked to, the one I was referring to - nice!

Is there a led diagram anywhere for a B4 blacked out cluster?
Recently my headlight on indicator no longer comes on. It's not a concern for me but I may want to change other leds in the future.

Okay, so after messing about with a few things, i have had some good results in sprucing up the standard non-blackout cluster.
LED's were rubbish, light spread was crap. I then thought, hey, why not find a better type of normal globe.
I ended up buying and i'm very happy with the results. Pics don't do it justice, it's a massive improvement over the dim horrible lighting of the OEM unit. Best part was, didn't even have to unplug the cluster and pull it out. Just undid the screws holding it in, flipped it so i could access the bulb holders and swapped out the bulbs. Easy.
Here: http://www.ebay.com....e1e83a55&_uhb=1
For those interested, you will need 4 of these globes for the dash. I ordered 6 so i could do the number plate lights aswell.

No.....
Didn't think of it. Already threw the old globes in the bin. Trust me, its much better than stock. I was nearly squinting at night to read the cluster.

Really? My stock ones are just fine...
Did you turn up the illumination? or is your car without this feature?

JDM so no illumination adjustment. It's pretty poor as standard.

I found pulling off the "condom" doesn't really make a difference... the green is on the dials anyway.
I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.
