Dashboard LED lights
« on: March 18, 2012, 07:37:00 pm »
The standard GTI comes in blue back lighted dashboard lights, Is it possible to change the colour to something like the R32 white? The needle colour cant be changed which is obvious
GTI MK5 with all the gooodies

K04 power going on soon!

I'm pretty certain there was a post by someone who changed there LEDS - in the climate controls everything so they were all the same.

Just a case of getting the right LED's and a really steady had....unsolder and re-solder the new ones.

I believe anyway,
