Blue instrument lights

[kurt_wylde]

Guys,
I, along with many other people LURVE the new Blue dash lights in new VW's.

I assume it's quite an easy matter of simply replacing the lights in my clock pod with new blue bulbs/ blue 'caps'.

Is this the case? and if so where can I purchase these fantastic little bast**ds..?

Cheers

Kurt:devil:

I wish, but I bet its no that simple!

Still, the Ibizas red dash is much better than the standard dash on my old Peugeots.

Blue Lights

Hmmm, That doesn't sound too good.

Have you any idea why replacing the bulbs wouldn't work..?

not just lights im afraid , they are miniscule PCB led's , approx 2mm square ,

nothing is impossible mind

need a steady hand to play with that one . plus all the other instruments will need changin too

Few years back i had an rs1800 and all i did was dremel the green acrylic filter screen away from the front of the light module and got a sheet of the clear plastic they use to colour stage lighting from a local craft shop (for blue you want indigo to get the right colour,£2 it cost me) and put that in the front instead! If you can get away with just swapping filters do it, its cheaper and less risky if your abit of a spaz with a soldering iron or if you keep and eye on ebay sometimes you can get a set already sorted and soldered for about £40 on an exchange basis, worth a look
