Yeah, the plugs still go in and hold in fine, so all is good

So just found out the media buttons on the wheel (Which came with the GTS wheel) actually illuminate white at night! Much better than the standard SS ones and I had NO idea they did this!

Interesting as both my Series 1 and Series II had the buttons on the steering wheel which illuminate when the headlights are turned on. Can't see why your's didn't.

I put on a Genuine HSV GTS Steering Wheel i purchased as surplus from a dealer and it took me 22 mins to remove the airbag, change over the spokes/buttons and re-install it all. I did make a tool (modified a stubby screwdriver) which sped up the process but it was a cinch to do. Thanks for the guide OP.
