I have a mk1 vrs, and am tempted to change the LED colour of the dials. Seeing that I dont want to bugger mine up, can I buy a second hand one on fleabay to have a go on?

Such as: http://www.ebay.co.u...=item5d366bd9ba

Will this be able to plug into my car to see if it lights up? Would this cause any problems with my imobiliser due to it having a different code to my cluster?

Thanks, Mike

**EDIT**

Plus I could use the needles on my vrs cluster :p

I think the immobilser for the fabia is in that unit, so it wont start :p

Yeah I know it wont start, but just wondering if I can plug it in to see if it lights up as it should, but without leaving fault codes etc in the ECU

Maybe not worth the effort and money on the old dash.. I think theres someone on here that does it quite cheap..No idea who though!

got a feeling its Dark Hero

It is and you only have to check out Dark_Hero's and Gee's Project Thread to see the work he can do.

Yeah, but he is quite a distance from me. Im already pretty handy with an iron, just wondering if I could power the thing up and see if the lights work :p

Although im sure I could figure out the pin configurations, must only be 12V input....

Yes you can plug it in as long as its the correct part number - there are differences. Won't start the car but did not show up any errors on mine when I tried it.

Dark_Hero will do most of it by post, but If you are intent on doing it yourself use that cluster to practise on first - thats what I did.
