Ryan, is that a A/C switch next to the slider control ? I have only seen this in USA production Mk2. I prefer a dedicated A/C rather than the slider control automatically turn it on.
What is the funny looking switch next to it ? I found your car has a lot of unique feature not normally in Mk2.

Yep, its a separate switch all of it's own.
Switch on, slider to position 1, 2 or 3 or demist.

The thing beside it with the LED's is (according to my manual) is some sort of immobilizer/alarm warning light.
The system is currently in 'service' mode as somebody switched the system off (with a key I was not given)

I'm still learning things about this car, a real 'parts bin special'

Got sick of the old tail lights, so got a pair of genuine Tinted Hella's.

And with a 30 second wiring mod, 2 more brake lights.

Thank-you Ben for sending me these, I look forward to getting pulled over by the police.

I think that there is the easiest/cheapest mod to drastically improve the rear of a mk2..

I'm a bigger fan of the tint/red rather then the full tint thou, rather way its great to get rid of the yellow!

These were not cheap haha, tinted always look better than standard (on BB cars) IMO.
I just got sick of the repo half tints originally on the car, plus these work well with my 'colour scheme'
