    its not that hard to do, the hardest bit is pulling the cluster apart to remove the green tinter behind the lcd screens.

    i had mine all blue, except the lcd's and it looked crap. so i put it all back to white until i could be bothered doing it properly with cold cathodes or something similar to give a better spread of light as the factory positions give you beams of light with led's as opposed to a shower of light with filiment globes.

    Yeah, I've bookmarked a few links from VWVortex that have come out time to time. I think some of the buttons on the centre console are actually colour filtered so no matter what colour you use, they'll still have a green tinge, but there's a way around it.

    Here are most of the links I've come across while perusing the Mk3 forum on vortex:
