I think this topic has been metioned before.

Does anyone know who can supply a blue dashboard lights conversion kit to transform my dash to a VW! Website/contact number would be great.

Cool

Speak to Gecko Motorsport to do the dash and heater display and *** lighter the bulb fitments on the switches are proving to be a pain in the **** at the moment to change but working on it.

Please note this is not a case of buying some leds and resistors and doing a bit of soldering it's a like for like replacement for the dash "Not short life coloured bulbs" no offence intended at all Robby on your post, the heater controls require a bit of work to fit but you dont have to butcher the car to fit them just modify the lamps as you can see from my poor quality nightime photography the dash lamps looks pretty good if i don't say so myself

Huxley

Their has been a post in the interior section of the bbs about this

Here here, I was going to get a V5, due to the dash and more in car toys.

I have the 3 extra dials on the dash, oil pressure, etc, can I get the blue bulbs for those too??

They should do depends on the bulb fitment, i was only going to order wedge fitment but we will see how many other people inquire about the bulbs.

The lamps i have got are very good quality.

Huxley,

I spoke to AWD, Perth yesterday. They offer an indigo kit which apparently changes from green to blue?? The cost is £120!!! They do not offer any conversion for heater controls.

Put me down for your set if it will fit MY00 with white dials and the bulbs to do the heater controls. Mail me asap and let me know.

Cheers

Chris

They are easy to fit in dash pod but the heating controls take a little bit of effort to fit but only took me about 10 minutes to fit the hardest one to do was the *** lighter I had to dismantle the center counsel to get the back plate out!! on some of the WRX models you might need an adaptor socket but shouldn't be too much of a problem to source.

I will be in touch with those of you that want me to contact them ASAP.

Hey Huxley

If the kit will run on a 2002 Legacy, I'm definitely up for a kit. If not, any chance you could let me know the contact details for them, and I'll have a word - rather than getting you to run around any more for us greedy buggers

Thanks matey

Hi Huxley,

Sounds great. If it'll fit an MY01 then I reckon I'd be up for it too...
