Swapping cluster lights from blue to White

[Lyons]

Has anyone ever successfully swapped the blue of the instrument dials and the climate displays to white?

I imagine the latter shouldn't be too tricky, but what about the former?

Any info appreciated.

I think Darren will know (Mortygttdi) I think he once mentioned changing the white dot matrix display too (highline)

Aye, I can recall something about swapping the highline.

Sadly I just have a midline, but I'd settle for swapping the blue to white.

The blue light can be changed but it's a bit of a pig. There are these tiny mounted devices that are smaller than LEDS. You need to replace something like 20 of them.

Speak to Garth I know he did his so could give you some advice.

Cheers

Is that for the cluster?

I'll send him a pm, cheers Darren.

I've a mate that does vauxhall SMD conversions and has said if I can remove both parts he'll give it a go. From memory the cluster removal is quite easy, and I'm assuming the climate control is just the next thing to be removed after taking out the trim for a HU swap.

If I remove the cluster will it need recoding when i put it back, or is that only if you put a new one in?

I've done this on mine. Take a look in my build thread (link in my signature) for details. Not massively difficult but then it is easy to mess up if you aren't careful!

Found your thread this morning Garth, PM sent with a couple of questions!
