SKC? Can you explain that whole post for me please?
It'd be kinda cool to change the color of my cluster lights...but if I were gonna do it, I'd just swap out the blue GTI lighting for R32 white lighting! That'd be sweet to me!!! :biggrin:
I want to change them to white. Why isnt this as simple as pulling off your dash and changing the bulbs to white?
Because the "bulbs" are LEDs surface-mounted onto a printed circuit board. This it not a simple swap job, it requires a lot of skill and dexterity and some experience with surface mount components (which are TINY) to swap out correctly.
Plus you'd have to disassemble your dash assembly and all the stepper motors for the needles and recalibrate them all, plus whatever control modules and data connections will be going there
Hence why a cluster swap is much simpler.
so you wanna commit fraud with mileage? Thats ok, they find these things out. I could tell ya how to adapt it, but I don't wanna help a thief.
