I've a headlight restorer kit coming this week as the plastic has yellowed and looks terrible. Thanks for all the tips and links again. I'll post...

    Climate control lights and changing the colour of dash bulbs

    Absolutely fantasia post there mate! You're a star :-) I'll be getting myself some of these. The switches have blue lights as well? Or is that just one bulb? Looks fantastic I have to say.

    Climate control lights and changing the colour of dash bulbs

    Thanks again for all the top information! I've had the climate unit apart before and the bulbs are easy to change. I imagine the radio ones are similar to be honest. So have you not managed to change the odometer lights then? I do love how your dials look and I hope it's as easy for me to do...

    Climate control lights and changing the colour of dash bulbs

    Hi MedicalFlyer thanks for such a comprehensive answer. So its the bulbs themselves that give the colour then? Did you change the radio and climate bulbs as well then?

    Climate control lights and changing the colour of dash bulbs

    Hi everyone. My climate control back light isn't working. I've tried replacing the bulbs but still no joy. Any ideas on if/how this could be fixed? Also is it possible to change to colour of the cluster back lights? Many thanks. Matt

    Leaking air conditioning hose replace or refurbish?

    Hi guys. I called honda. £99 for a new hose. Not as bad as I thought but it's still probably 25% of the value of the car. I could buy a whole car for parts for £150! Lol.
