Replacement of blue speedo/rev counter etc lights..

(1/5) > >>

WhiteGTI:
Anyone know how to do this, or know where a DIY guide can be found??

I quite fancy changing my speedo/rev counter etc etc lights from the purply blue to a nice crisp white (as on the S3 and the new GTI). Think it would look pretty damn good with the red needles also!

Ive done this mod on a previous car and it worked pretty well.

Any help would be appreciated ............. :smiley: :smiley: :happy2:

ive done this mod on a previous car and it was a good mod.

but....i would guess that the LEDs in our clocks are SMDs surface mounted Diodes. these things are tiny.

it would probably involve completely stripping each circuit board (risky) and soldering each SMD on. and i bet theres a good 30 SMDs in there.

i would also guess it be dam near impossible to dissassemble the clocks
