Im messing around with a set of Mk1 Fabia clocks, and it looks like the back light (switched on when the headlights are switched on) is triggered possibly by the Convenience System CAN bus, does anyone know if its possible to program the dials (via VCDS) to permanently switch them lights on?

 

So that the dials are always lit?

If not run an ign live to the dials? With separate bulb wires?

Afraid not Taylor, 

 

However find someone with VAG-Commander and apparently it is possible to re-write the coding to make it possible

(if you do find someone then let me know as its something I want doing on the Edition 100)

To be honest if it couldnt be programmed, i was going to open it up and hard solder some fly leads onto the clocks lol

 

Its not for my Fabia, so im just looking into it atm.
