so whats the story?? Why oh why did you do that?

 

Your crazy man, just plain nuts. Or maybe you just have more faith in yourself to get it put back together than I would in me. But really why? Going to chage the color of the lights maybe?

It was really easy. There were only 6 screws all together. It was even easier to put it back together. I was considering taking the bulb out for that stupid VSA caution sign but then I realized that was the only way to know if VSA is on short of trying to peel out.

good job ! well done !
I always wanted to do that and replace the lights under neath.

I wanted to make it much more VW or BMW like.

you know ? like the red or purple/pink color.

is there anyway to do it ?

 

why not just take it to the dealer? no warranty?

 

They said they could not find it.

Webtoker,

Concerning the instrument guage, is the glass/plexiglass attached? Reason I'm asking is cause when I got my car, there were swirl scratches around all of the guages (on the glass). Told the dealer about it and they said they would replace it but it would mean having to take the whole dash apart. Now that I see your pictures, it does not seem like such a big job so I'm gonna have them replace it. But I do not want them to replace the whole instrument guage... would that mena they are changing out the odometer, or is the reading stored somewhere else?

 

Im sure they can replace the plexiglass without disturbing your odometer.

When I crashed my TL the plastic covering the intruments cracked. They replaced them just fine.

sooooo...how's the v-tec contoller treating you???

 

Regarding the clear lens scratches....try polishing compound from a body shop, or from a detailer. Not the store bought kind, but a liquid just like polish but with a taste more "grit". Worked like a champ. WebToker, where are the remaining 4 screws?? Looks like some of those harness couplings could be the rattling culprits.

I did go buy something like that, but decided against doing it cause it might make it worse. Thanks for the info though.

 

the rattle was coming from the drugs...

 

So...are we able to change the bulbs in the panel? Brighter or different color?

 

oooooooooh!!! anyone ridden in a new beetle (or new VW) lately?? i just dig their purple lights---wonder if their bulbs would fit, or if their is a source for colored bulbs--it would just be the SH*T!!!!!

 

anyone know how we could get to the LCD backlights for the cd player and a/c controls??? the color would HAVE to match...

 

Anyone have an answer on the bulbs yet? Or what type they are?
