Look on the bright side. I could've gone to his homepage instead. That would even be more fun with all the other mods he has done.

Lightbulb Translation of the thread (posting)

After my research was completed, I placed my order. There are All LEDS in the interior which were exchanged by blue LEDS.

The light change on the AC control unit was a problem since it is equipped with lamps instead of LEDS.

I used white LEDS in the combination display, since the LCD is blue in the background and is not visible with blue/blue numbers.

I am happy with the results, hope you all like it

Post More translation

As you can all see, I think the pictures speak for themselves

This project took about (approximately) one week of active work and long preparation time.

There were used aprox 160-170 parts. Everything was purchased with Conrad electronics for approx.. 120 Euros

After viewing the complex mods of Mr. M. Wiedermann, adding a flat hood badge, or a change to the Netherlands setting seems so...............
INSIGNIFICANT

No problem!... just be advised (just in case) the ruler in the picture is in Centimiters! (not inches!)
