Did my wifes cabrio dash with leds!!!
« on: 10 February 2008, 22:10 »
Had a go at putting some chrome rings and blue leds in my wifes mk3 cabrio:





pics don't do them justice, looked at doing the light switch but that looks fiddley! Did the heater controls but that needs more bulbs.  :smiley:
I'm happy she's happy!!! For once!!  :laugh:


FAB is my life and the CABRIO's the wifes!!!!

ye big improvement over the green is blue

i take it you had the easier blue film MAF/ mileage displays (i can tell by the blue colour, done a few for my mates, a really easy job compaired to the late type clocks like mine)
