Title: Dashboard LED lights
Post by: Sammy 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

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,
