I dont know how easy this is to do but would it be possible to change the lights behind the speedo and heater controls to light up blue instead of green? any input would be great :cool:
-
The speedo is easy, you can change the two clear bulbs for blue ones and then remove the green filter strip. There is one bulb lighting the back of the heater controls with a green filter over it, you'd have to remove the green filter and find a blue bulb that fits in there. If you can't find a bulb that fits you'll have to install some LEDs.

Thanks :smiley: so i could basically make them white instead? by just really removing the green filters?
-
Afraid not, I tried that and it ended up more of a sick yellow, looked awful :sick: I'm in the middle of converting everything to LEDs at the moment instead.

Aw gutted :sad: might just need to leave it the green then :sad: dont suppose u would know about tinting headlights? or whether a gear knob from a bora would fit a mk3 golf?
-
Don't know anything about tinting headlights I'm afraid. The gear knob from a Bora should fit, a few people in the mk3 section have fitted gear knobs from mk4 Golfs.

See i noticed you said its a cae of removing the bulbs well i had a crack ath this took my clocks out and going by the guide posted my clocks dont come apart like the ones in the guide can anyone shed some light is there different types of clocks i have a 94 golf gti mk3
-
different type of clock
they do come apart
think on 1994 models the 2 faces pull off (after removing the needles)
their are 3 diff types in total, all can be taken to bits as iv done it, the early ones like yours are the easiest to do as they dont use the rare chip leds to illuminate the 2 LCD screens, all you gotta do is remove the green filters from their aswell as alont the top and replace with led bulbs the colour of your chioce, white leds would work fine!, and i think for your type clocks you can buy the twist fit ones so no soldering needed even
pics would help, rear of clocks and front
