i could scan them and post it to you bud, shouldnt be a problem

just cover the ink cost and postage which would be probably be just a few quid.

there are a set of jdm fogs on ebay now

not cheap though, these usually go for around £80 with the surrounds, but a good full set like this is getting rarer, hence the price i supppose

So does that mean you also have the on screen climate control?

A nice little thing that I have is a dash dimmer switch thingy that goes in the cluster of three switches to the right of the steering wheel. It's a USDM option, I got it off some bloke in Canada IIRC.

I also have a coin tray, which was in the car when I got it. Changed it out for the switch cluster and fiddled with wiring and relays so that I have front and rear fog switches plus the dash dimmer there now.

Not that the dimmer is much use. It hardly makes the dash any dimmer or brighter at all. What I ended up doing was putting a switch beside the gearstick that makes all my dash either fully bright or fully dim when the lights are on.

Yep, good luck tracking down an in dash TV screen for 4g's... I've been looking for years! Only ever seen on come up in the country (and don't know what happened to it).

From memory, wasn't the TV unusable over here anyway as it was Jap tuner? I know theres the similar issue with the 5g sat-nav so not sure if I'm remembering correctly. I guess you could just use the screen and tackle the tuner issue, but then there's the argument that installing a modern screen the same size and in the same location would be much better quality...

Far less JDM yO though of course, I get that.

This strange desire for parts that don't work

Yes Sat-Nav won't work here as the frequency or the witcraft is different here to the one in Japan.

I just kept it for the OEMness and also my heater controls are in there.

GordonLear, has successfully managed to install his rear camera in the TV though which I plan to do in the future.

i was thinking of retro fitting a small monitor just a case of relocating the dash dimmer box then plenty of room but my list of to do jobs is mighty long as it is

i had a touch screen tv in my jdm soarer which controled sat nav / cd/ tape /radio heater controls etc etc was a good bit of kit long as you could read japanese hence i have removed it and retro fitted heater controls from a different soarer allowing me to fit a double din
