Re: Dash / instrument lights

You'll need a new screen or light sensor i think, how bright is the cluster at night? With the side lights on at night the dash isn't lit up , the centre dials for Turbo , oil , and stopwatch are lit though !

Dash / instrument lights

Hi guys is it possible to code my dash and instrument lights to come on when only side lights are selected ? I find the lights are mostly on main beam with dull days when it's in auto mode , sometimes I don't need the full beam on but would like the dash lights on with the sidelights. Cheers , Andy

Re: DPF REGEN SCIROCCO 2.0 TDI 170 ADVICE TIPS HELP NEEDED

Before I had this done the only other way round it I found was to take it for a good blast as soon as the light came on the dash , if I ...
