^^^ Are you going to light up the **** too? It's kind of a fun project.

Can't wait to see pics of your car when you're finished - I really dig alcantara

yardpro

yardpro

The lighted fan **** mod is pretty simple and really makes a nice addition. When I did mine I also drilled the sockets in the slider ***** deeper so that the fiber optic light guides do a better job lighting the slider *****. Now to get off my lazy tail and complete the led conversion by doing the pod ***** and cluster along with installing Ed's dimmer.

No rheostat in the head unit - what you show there are just the wiper switches for the air distribution flaps... There is a temperature potentiometer driven by the top slider & the cog mechanism (under the cog).

Nice job cleaning it all up!

sorry about the terminology.. the copper slider thingy...

I have ordered a smd led for the **** and will be trying out mounting LEDs directly into the slider *****.. i think that will be as simple as messing with the fiber optic.

the tape i used is easily available HVAC metal duct tape.
