Messy job doing the LED in the dials . I got fed up and used this instead on my old GTi and will be looking to change them again in the GTi I have now if I keep it .

its not messy at all real easy if you follow the how to and have the right tools and that those plasma dials look chavvy imo

but if oyur going for blue anyway then i suppose its easier but should go for red and white more classy looks s**t hot too Wink

you wont find a nice red and white set you have to solder the LED on the original ones to get red and white Smile but its worth it looks awesome specially if you do the a/c and mfd too

you can get the bulbs that you just replace but im pretty sure its a orange film on the dials on those ones too so makes it hard work think there is a guide on doing those ones on here somewhere
