Konrad Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 After countless taking on and off bloody dashboard, loosing feel in every single finger because of tight plugs, 2 days of smelling burned plastic and solder (i was learning ) aaand resoldering half of bloody resistors (those just kept packing and walking away without further notice) I managed to finish my first and stable CLIMATE CONTROL led conversion! Speedo conversion to go (this one will be easy ) Now I can take off climate control from fully fitted dashboard in 4 minutes!
