[kasman21 0]

Hey Guys

 

I have taken my fog light switch out and basically i want to change the colour to blue, from that horrid green so it matches my stereo!!!

 

I Hav tried to take them apart!!but cant get to the bit where i can try and change the colour, i know this mod has been asked before, but cant find the thread!!!!any help would be wicked!!!!

 

Also I want to change the heather controls to blue from green, that too is stripped but how can i change it to blue????it seems the green wont come off, without removing the black surround too!!!!

 

any help or ideas would be great fellas.

 

 

Thanks

 

Zak

Dont bother with the guy on ebay. the colour is only dictated by colour filters on most illuminated parts of your car. ive changed the colour on many VW instrument clusters and its pretty much the same technique. to do a d-i-y filter either get a bit of paper (cheap option) and use what ever colour crayon you want the light to be...or...go to staples or stationary box and buy coloured plastic folders (best option) then cut the filters out of that. Heres a link showing how to change dial, mfa and heater illumination. Pluss there are other tricks such as installing UV LEDS and painting your speedo/rev needles a bright colour or use UV nail varnish. heres that link with general instructions and pictures of how to sort your dash!

That link is fine for the clocks, but it doesnt work for the switches, as they dont have filters, the LEDs are green, so they DO need changing.

yeh the bulbs do need changing but its quite a simple task to convert your whole dash. A full weekend and your laughing!
