Heater Control Backlighting

Post by Jay's MK4, Euro Stylee! »

Hi there,

I dont suppose anyone would no if anywhere, or anyone sells the laminated peice of plastic from behind the heater controls, with a blue backing instead of the green?

I am pretty bored with the green switch and dash lighting scheme and fancy going blue, i guess im not the only one! im currently on the hunt for a bunch of blue LEDs for the switches and dash lights, however its not quite so simple as changing the LEDs when it comes to the heater controls and the lighting control unit.

cheers for any help guys, jay.

Why not make it yourself?

All you need is to print it in a transparent blue paper

You can get a template for printing here

I still havent gotten around to doing this mod, but i have been said that it works better if you also change the little lightbulbs with coloured leds ( straight swap)
