    Back on the "KiaStein" topic. This 2000 Kia Sephia was built in June / 1999 so, the thing already reached its eighteen birthday, Long ago, I changed the engine with a more modern one, But I used the same intake and exhaust manifolds from the old engine, on it. Recently, the Fuel pressure regulator, that goes in the injector's Common Rail (which is the Fuel input from the Tank) started to Leak, just after reaching 18 years old, so I simply obtained another one, brand new from the Local Kia Dealer, and surprisingly, I found that the Old regulator was made with a yellowish metal, while the new Regulator came in a Shiny, silverish finish; the same happened with the Brake's proportioning valves, as you can see in previous posts. As far as I Know, Kia improved the quiality from certain parts after the production, and this unit should be one of the improved ones.

    You're Welcome! Kind Regards.

    Then, please share some Photos of your Dashboard / instrument Cluster, with us; on its Thread. ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/69467-ea82-dashboard-backlights-upgrade-to-hid-white-led%C2%B4s/page-3?do=findComment&comment=1116188 Kind Regards.

    Nice Subarus R2 on the road. ~► (I tried to embed a YouTube's video on a Post here, but Recently, their system doesn't allow that.) Kind Regards.

    How about a Subaru Loyale with an in-line six cylinder, 1JZ-GTE twin turbo engine, from a Toyota Supra? Here is a Video of it, on a Pink Race: ~► This car was built in Chile, South-America.

    Despite that my camera is not good at taking Videos under low light conditions, I made one; but it is not Worth to be shared here as Video, so I've edited it, and turned it to an Animation, that shows you how the Subaru's Dimmer control, works Flawlessly on the Hyundai; See: I hope these ideas be Helpful. Greetings from the Caribbean, Honduras.

    The instrument Cluster went from looking like This: To This Awesomeness!

    When I obtained the Subaru Loyale's Dimmer control unit, also I obtained its Plug with wiring; so next I had to search among the wires on the Hyundai Galloper, to find which ones delivers power 12V (+) for the background illumination, to cut and splice them, in order to Solder the Subaru's plug on them as a detour for that power, to the Dimmer control unit. The Subaru's Dimmer control, has three wires, two are of the same colour and are the Power input (low and high) from the Car's wiring, and the other wire which has another colour, is the Power output, that goes to the instrument Cluster. I simply connected Both same colour wires from the Dimmer control, to the power output wire that has the power for the instrument Cluster's illumination, on the Car; and the Output from the Dimmer control went connected to the instrument Cluster's input wire... Voilá! ... ... Works Perfectly!

    Important Note: I am adding this information here, because it could be Helpful for those people, who wants to do the LED illumination retrofitting, on cars that Lacks a Dimmer control module, so here you can learn how to Retrofit one, prior to do the LED conversion. The second challenge, was to retrofit a Dimmer control unit for the illumination of the instrument Cluster on the Hyundai Galloper, as it never came with such feature from Factory; I decided to go in the route of what I know the Most: Subaru. Firstly, I obtained a Dimmer control unit, out from a Subaru Loyale from the early 1990's decade, it was like new and its three wire design, makes it easy to use. Then I searched for a suitable spot to place it on the Hyundai Galloper's dashboard, and I found it, easy to reach from the driver's seat, even while driving. Here you can see the Subaru's Dimmer control unit, already placed on a Hyundai Galloper's plastic cover that came out from its dashboard: Here you can see the Placement for it, already in Place, back on the Dashboard: The placement is low, next to the steering column, but works Good. So, the Second Challenge was also Sorted Out.

    So, I faced two challenges in order to comply with this Commitment: ► To obtain enough T-6.5 LED bulbs. ► To find a way to Retrofit a Dimmer control on the Galloper. In the past, I obtained a couple of those LED bulbs in T-6.5 size, from an online supplier, because the Kia's instrument Cluster uses two of them, one for background illumination of the Odometer / Tripmeter, and the other is for the Low fuel Warning light. This last one I left with incandescent bulb, as the sensitivity of the LED will make it permantly Lit on that Spot. So, I contacted again the online Supplier, and he sent me a Bunch of those rare T-6.5 LEDs in multi tip fashion, for better illumination pattern, see: So, the First Challenge was sorted out!

    I've been retrofitting LED illumination on instrument Clusters, from various cars, successfully (thanks to God) since years ago, starting with my Subaru... Let me show you some examples: From This: To This: Our "KiaStein" already with LED illumination: My Subaru "BumbleBeast" already with LED illumination: So, the Owner of a Hyundai Galloper touring wagon turbo diesel, who is a local Friend, asked me to do the LED background illumination retrofitting, on his car, and of course I did it, but such a retrofitting requires that the instrument Cluster, comes with a Dimmer control, in order to reduce the Bright from the LEDs after the Retrofitting, and the Hyundai Galloper doesn't have a Dimmer Knob for his instrument Cluster...

    By the way, 130 KPH in fifth speed Hi-2WD on a flat surface, seemed to be its top speed...

    Here you can see the intermediate sized bulb, next to the... ...two most used ones on instrument Cluster's illumination.
  22. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    The only thing, besides the Horn, that I disliked from the Galloper, is the background illumination on the instrument Cluster; because it had some bulbs already burnt and they were all from the rare, intermediate size known as "24" which is a T-6.5 and is hard to find.
  23. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    My friend and I went offroading together, many times... ...here's my friend's Hyundai Galloper, next to my Subaru Loyale. Here ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/87725-an-open-request-to-loyale-27-turbo/page-5?do=findComment&comment=1093091 You can see much more Photos of that offroading trip

    The Hyundai Galloper is a Huge Touring Wagon, that has seats for Nine people Has interesting details, such like a multi speaker stereo, factory alarm with remote control, a third rearview mirror on the pass side Fender and a dual range, five speed Hi-Lo manual transmission among many others...

    Also, I installed twin "Bosch" horns, Which previously were on my Subaru "BumbleBeast" That's the reason why they're painted in yellow ... ... The original horn sounded annoying, like a Scooter!
