Combining the '09 STI console light with the ashtray delete for the 98 Legacy GT.
PN's:
• STI Illumination Plate 92129FG000
• Pocket/Ashtray Delete 66511AC010MU
Grabbed a used '09 shifter trim panel with the light and another pocket.
Luckily the orginal OEM ashtray light socket (left) also fits the new lighted panel because the supplied odd angled LED light (right) won't fit inside the pocket.
Cut the back of the pocket off and slowly whittled the silver trim panel to fit right over the hole. Glued the new light assembly in place.
Finally, flocked it afterwards to hide blemishes and to match the rest of the trim. Only thing left is to pop it in place. The ultimate ashtray delete is ready!
Not only does it look cool but it actually weighs less than the pocket and significantly lighter than the ashtray assembly.
