Reply With Quotewhile everyone else de-chromes, i've added more chrome - headlight switch.
only downside - it lights up vw red, instead of the skoda green!

I must say... That new switch does match the interior a lot better!!
You could always swap the LED's across

I think it means soldering lots of little LEDs. but not impossible!

no way am i gonna transplant the LEDs from one to the other.
easiest way would be to open the backplate & swap the PCB as it is. will b plug & play.
unfortunately VAG have used a tiny tiny torx screw!!! i don't have one that fits....so till i find one, i live with it.

I did an LED transplant on the dash of my Kia Rio... Dirty burnt orange stock, suddenly became blue with red highlights.
Thinking of doing the same thing to the Octy, when I can pluck up the courage to take the dials apart...

The shoppers at the IKEA store were looking at me funny, thinking there was no way i was going to fit the 1 daybed (in 4 pieces) plus 2 matresses into the car. HA!!
even the staff at ikea tried to convince me it won't fit and to use their expensive delivery service. pffttt...as if!!
2 pieces were 209 cms, while the widest piece was 106cms - piece of cake to fit them all in and not a scratch.
i removed (2 mins) the seatbase and moved the front seat all the way forward.

Moved the child seat to the front, popped the seats down and hey presto! Room to spare.
