Realistically you should change the counters with your existing ones ... but I don't know if anyone has done this ... plus a guide on how to do so could technically allow other "unhonest" people to use this information to sell Accent's with "low mileage" when in fact they are probably high mileage cars Undecided

Hyundai will either swap the clocks inside the instrument cluster, wind the clocks of the new one forward before supplying it, or leave it as zero, with a note in the service history that says at xxxxxx miles the instrument cluster was replaced.

I believe that all mileage counter will lock once they reach 999'999.9 miles / kilometers to prevent people from winding them on, through zero, and back upto a lower mileage than what their car actually has done - as this was a common practice in the past with dodgy dealers, hence most manufacturers prevented clock tampering by the design of the mechanism.

i had to change my milage when i fitted mvi clocks and to be honest its harder than you think.if you do decide to do it ,carefully remove the clocks then remove the clear cover on front get a needle or pin and very carefully use the pin to move the numbers back when doing it make sure the pin is on the white numbers when your moving them because if you move them putting the pin on the black bit it shows up.

Is it possible to put dials from an LC2 into an LC as i want to have a digital display showing the miles.
