Well cars run on a simple positive and negative 12v system. Its very simple really, take the chunky wire from the coil and connect it to your steering wheel. Then start the car while holding onto the wheel. Job done, you will now have blue sparkly lights inside the car!

i regret converting to blue LED's

it looks tacky and you cant adjust the LED brightness + you cant see the dials clearly. Probably just me

Thats cos you did a crap job of it blue lol. I like mine. Looks more modern, a hell of allot brighter too and my dials are crytal clear at night. 100% improvement over the origional. Maybe i will change the colour at some point in the future though. Might try red next.

I did my driver in blue, worked great once the green filter was out and i 'diffused' the leds (rubbed the ends down with sandpaper)  The dimmer worked perfectly too.

I'm going with red LEDs in my GTI, along with a corrado heater pannel for that touch of class  :cool:

Trust me it looks cool, better than blue imo :)

I did a green LED dash conversion on a mates MK2 and that looks cool too, he wanted to stick with the OEM look but without dim & faded switches!
