I worked on this awhile ago, but never could test it because i was in the middle of a rebuild down to the chassi. But since then I've decided to complete my project with another chassi, and so i was able to finaly test it out a year or two later. I'm not gonna use it in my car, I had a entire blue led kit that I made for the gauge cluster too, but this project brings some new ideas to my current car... perhaps white and red would look good with a black car?

That looks great. Red LED's aren't really as bright as other colors. This many not be a big deal to you though. I like the blue, but stick with a color you like. Good job on that mod.

Looks great, kind off looks like the last gen of jetta and golfs.
I have seen it done to the key hole also, and to the gauges...sorry no pics.
LED just wires into the original wire?

Looks good, Like shaeff asked, do you have a part number for the red digits, I just put a new CC in mine and put in red LEDs but could not find a red display that worked.

Ah' yes about the red digits, the pics make them look a tad better, they are really redish/oragne more on the red side. It's the same display, i just cut off the green plastic housing, and then used red filters (actually red see through report covers), it came out pretty good really if i do say so myself. I got some pics of when i did the mod, I'll see if i can find them again so I can show you how i did it. Thanks
