Bryan_Jones Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I'd be more concerned with actually getting the dials on without removing the needles. :( I've had a go at fitting them with no joy. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=138834&page=21 See if you have any better ideas.

Dazzi Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 You could take the dimmer out of its casing and place it where the oem one is? I haven't had a go of mine yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had a go of mine yet. i thought because the new dimmer has a switch on it aswell it wouldn't fit there, might give it a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 i thought because the new dimmer has a switch on it aswell it wouldn't fit there, might give it a try Take out the casing and took away? Im not having green so the switch will be left on blue and tucked away - will have to see if it works in the oem dimmer slot tonight.

Im not having green so the switch will be left on blue and tucked away - will have to see if it works in the oem dimmer slot tonight. might leave the casing on as not to big and still took it away behind the dash somewhere. thinking blue glow is the way to go anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Shane_ Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 but you cant adjust the needles while the car is running even with the plastic face off as it will just go back to the previous position Will go at it again tomor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
