   I am just bout 2 order sum plasma dials for my car but was wondering how easy they are to fit, also will they just keep things like the miles etc on the dash or will they change?

    i've only fitted a mk1 set before. here, the power from the clocks is re-directed into the plasma dials as they sit in front of the old dials. with re-directing the power, the mileage and clock dont light up any more

    don't get this? surely the wiring is same on mk1 and mk2 so tapping into the sidelight wire shouldn't affect the illumination of original dials?
