Glove box light is a very hard thing to photograph but I did do it in this post recently. (Scroll down to my posts)

It sits near the upper latch and is switch activated. Works very well.

 

As for Touring Wagon handles - I think you get them in the US. The DL ones are just plain hand grip ones

Thought you might want to see pics of these things before you start placing orders :P

 

The steering wheel boss is from a company called Saas here in Australia. I am unsure if they still exist. I know Momo make boss kits - and as does Autotecnica. The boss kit cost me about A$60 from memory. The steering wheel was only like A$80. I am after a JDM steering wheel now.

so the "boss" is just an adaptor then to fit the steering wheel to the ea82? let me know if and when you get another wheel, i might be interested in the a/t one....

 

Yes the boss is an adaptor. You can get a boss kit from ebay.

 

Eg. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MOMO-Steering-Wheel-Hub-Adapter-Subaru-Wagon-85-89_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33704QQitemZ8053333503QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V

 

Just make sure you get an appropriate steering wheel for it. You should be able to find a cheapish one there in the States to your tastes once you have the adpator/boss.
