Changing Colour Of Lights In Central Panel

[badlydrawnbadger]

I saw on a blogspot somewhere in cyberspace that someone had changed the colour of the lights in the central panel behind the temperature gauge bits - has anyone here tried that? Any ideas where I might get some different coloured lights from?

cool, have u got the link? i can imagine itd be really hard (do u mean the orange lights that are on everything) ud have to change like everything, speedo, dash, revcounter and the cd player if you even can.

anyway im guessing they are probs just Led's that u could swap but i couldnt even think of how to do it at all. sorry.

Yeah, that's the blogspot I saw - have tried downloading the manuals that it links to but it doesn't seem to like my computer...ho hum! When I get my car I might have a look at how easy the central panel is to remove. The blue lights like that guy has done, or preferably some pink ones would look wicked!! :D

Guidom - were there any other colours in the Halfords lights? And is it something quite simple to do for someone who is a total eejit with cars?!

I haven't done it myself, this is a dutch C1 driver. I don't think you have to be a professor to do this.

As I understand you have to take the mid console off, then take the original light out and put the Halfords or any other compatible light in. You only need to know what you are doing electricity wise.
