#1: Dials Illumination + Want to make some easy money? Author: Jay794, Location: Sheffield/Chesterfield/DronfieldPosted: Thu Nov 25, 2010 4:35 pm ---- Before I start, let me just say, I've done this before and f****d it up. Hence the creation of this thread.
I've just bought a second set of dials for my car, the first set I broke whilst trying to convert the illumination from orange to blue. The illumination of the fuel side goes on and off randomly, and the speedo needle spins whenever I start the car, I assume that has something to do with me spinning the needle a few 360's whilst trying to remove it, I must have busted the motor. This meant I had to remove the clear plastic so I can spin the needle back to 0 everytime (annoying).
Anyway, I've bought a second set which I'm looking to convert at some point soon, since I broke the first set I'm willing to pay for someone to do the conversion for me, complete with red needles if I can acquire some. So if anyone thinks they can handle a soldering iron or has done it before, successfully. Please PM me if your interested and live close enough/willing to travel to the Sheffield area. Any questions, please PM or post below

If so, there's no need to take the dials off - you undo the back and take the bulbs out from the circuit.
Kyle (gti180boy) in Stafford did mine (2004 GTi 180)
