probably a stupid question but should this be back lit at night with lights on?

The MFA/clock?? Yea it should. The dash has 3 lights, one over each big dial (speedo and revs), and one behind the digital display

yes, the bulbs are w@nk tho, every golf i buy has an intermittend light in the clock cluster, that seems to cut out as i hand over the money :angry:

i pulled out the cluster and soldered white leds directly onto the circuit board/membrane :nerd:

I'm doing my dash bulbs next weekend, so I'll post a guide on it - be sure to check my project thread ;)

My poor MFA is bleeding, I really need a new one.
