Dashboard lighting

[DavidA]

Noticed yesterday evening that my heater controls are unlit as is the temperature gauge. Speedo, rev counter and fuel gauge are all brightly lit however. Is it going to be blown bulbs or is there a fuse that does some of them separately ?

[Piggy]

Bulbs most likely pal.

Heater controls, you need to take the front facia off to get too.

[DavidA]

Didn't think it would be particularly straightforward. Might see if I can manage without until I get the chance to pull it apart...although that would give me the opportunity to get rid of the fake wood trim !

[Piggy]

Ewww too right!!

I do flocking if you're interested.

It is a bit if a ballache...I did mine recently. More difficult if you have a stereo too, as that needs to come out.

[DavidA]

Not sure that flocking would press my buttons either to be honest. Saw a picture of a car on here with a silver/grey fascia which looked quite tidy.

[Piggy]

That be mine

[DavidA]

That be mine

Is that a standard finish or did you paint it yourself ? Looks really smart.

[Piggy]

Its flocked mate

All done 'in house'!

[DavidA]

When you say "flocked" I'm thinking slightly furry/fuzzy...is that right, and do you have any other pictures ?

[Piggy]

Yeah thats right.

See my project thread, loadsa pics in there. Im on me phone so not easy to link pics
