how do you get the illuminated feature?

There are small lamps in the control symbols. They just need wiring into the dash illumination feed. I'm sure there is a picture of them on my thread somewhere. I'll have a look

Cheers Matt, it's getting there

Illumination of those stickers would be very handy on my 90 with these dark nights, save me wafting my hand around trying to find the lever. Do you know if its possible to make the Tdi dash sticker light up like the Td5?

Obviously would need to splice into dash lights wiring to get 2 extra bulbs on but I'm guessing I'd have to buy a Td5 dash cowl as well to have the cut outs for the light to shine through? Matt.

Yeah you would need the Td5 binnacle. They have little plastic boxes with the lamp inside. With the bits though it would be an easy mod

Just a picture tonight. Popped into the village and thought I'd stop and take a pic on the way home. It's a lovely sky tonight

I found that it fails for photos with a large pixel count (I'd made a before and after photo by putting 2 photos into 1) so you could try using MS Paint or something to shrink it down although you will lose some quality Matt.

Today's quick mod was cup holder illumination. 2 × 74mm diameter Perspex discs and a couple of leds. Quite effective I think

Naaa, apparently if they're up after 12th night then you have to leave them up all year. So will probably do that
