dinkus 10 Posted January 20, 2006 This was asked last week and gradeAFailure posted up a little how-to on the LCD inversion and it's also been discussed on quite a few other threads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So that the backround of the screen is black and the numbers themselves glow blue??? the opposite to the standard lcd?? if that makes sense!!!! i have blue leds to replace all, so do i just remove the green filter on the lcd and replace the bulb for the lcd one???? thanks guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted January 21, 2006 For reversing the polarity of the screens, look at http://www.oichan.org like the others said...! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DEL VR6 0 Posted January 21, 2006 I just changed the filters in mine, as described in that downloadable guide by gradeAfailure, Will take some pictures some time soon. im happy with the displays. Have so far done most of the switches (changed the 3mm green LED's to Red) Just got to do the headlight switch and heater / fan controls. Havent figured out a way to doing them yet tho. :?

gradeAfailure 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Heater controls - remove the green light pipes from the back of the heater control panel and replace with a clear one from a Passat, then paint the heater illumination bulb red/blue/colour of your choice... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZippyVR6 0 Posted January 22, 2006 dont bulbs blow up when painted? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Dunno bout interior ones but my rear indicators tinted green on the rat were ok... Alternatively, i think some of the boy-racer-type places sell coloured interior bulbs just for that "my car's a brothel" look... ;) try http://www.motor-world.co.uk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GIXXERUK 0 Posted January 22, 2006 on cca they have used what they call condoms (coloured not ribbed) to colour the heater bulb and changed it to the passat spider Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Says the man with pink side lights :lol: it was like that when i bought it... and mr g60dave sir - yours will be early heater controls, so you have to take the film off the back of the controls, scan it, photoshop the green to red, print it out onto clear acetate, then re-install... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Monkey 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Bugger, forgot about early/late ones! :oops: And thanks again gradeAfailure! :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
