'90 to '94 Proteges. You still have to source the cover plate thing, but the Protege ones bolt right in. They are mostly green, though at one time I had two blue ones! Don't know what happened to them, I don't think the blue was stock though, as both that I had came from white/green dash lettered proteges. I still need to confirm, but the green dash clock in my MX6 appears to be the same as well. The '88 MX6/626 have orange, the rest are green I think.

This is handy... what do you have to do in the way of wiring?

Four wires, all can be tagged off of the radio wiring.
You will need:
1. Battery Voltage ("B+" or "mem" on the radio harness)
2. Ground (ground)
3. Accessory power (ACC on radio harness)
4. Illumination (ILLUM on radio harness, dims the clock when the headlights are on for night driving)

How does that relate to the existing wiring? I have white/red, blue/yellow (two of them), ground to the back of the radio.. which one is illumination again?

Sorry, just wired up the stock stereo before the weekend so I could get factory plugs back into the car.. it had nothing but a mass of snipped wires when I bought it and was driving like that for a couple of years until PhoenixSHO sold me my radio.

Hoping to get my hands on a Protege clock, and have a Dremel around to try and form a suitable opening in the stock cover in the dash.
