Lights/Tires/Misc 850 1994

1) I have a 97, so I'm not sure my switch light answer will be the correct answer for your car based on one of the prevoius replies -- all of my switches except for the auto-trans mode selector light up and it's pretty easy to replace, just follow what the others have suggested

2) I've got an 850R, so I have slightly different tire sizes, but I did buy the Kumho Exsta Supra 712... I liked them a lot and way cheaper than the P-zeros they replaced, so I'd say if the ASX model is anything like the 712, go for it.

3) Yes, the suspension is hard as a rock. Every expansion joint makes my car buzz. At 142Kmi, it is the same as it was when I got it @ 42K. I've often thought I should replace the front shocks and possibly the rear Nivomats, but do not want to sink a ton of $$ in it at this point, plus when the dealer replaced one of my ball joints I asked hime to check the shocks out. No problems from his perspective and he told me he's seen 850s go 200K before needing new ones. Also, I think the bushings are probably overdue... never been replaced.

Hope this helps...
-Kyle
