I realy want my Fabia's instument needles to glow red instead of green.

Does anyone no if its possible?

If so, how?

I think it would look realy cool!

You could get some out of a Superb, i'm sure they'd fit, infact the whole instrument binnacle might fit?

I assumed all Skodas had green lighting with red needles though?!

Fabia vRS has red needles - not sure if that's the only one in the Fabia range though

As far as I know only the vRS has red needles.

You can disassemble the instrument cluster and replace the LEDs that illuminate the needles (there are only four of them)

I don't see a point of buying an entire instrument cluster just because of a different needle illumination.

mines all green

For those without vRS... this is what an all green life looks like!

And here's what the vRS looks like... in the day...

Can take a nite pic if you like?

I see that the vRS needles 'ARE' red. Mine are clear and glow green at night.

Thorght the vRS was the same, but glowed red.

Might try changing LEDs.

interesting we can get about the same miles out of more or less same amount of fuel in tank... diesel vs petrol!

Would be good to see night piccy wanna see what im getting.

buy some vrs clocks.

The Fabia vRS circuit board ist the standard Fabia board with some extra LEDs for watertemp- and fuel-needles. Besides changing the LEDs you also have to use apropriate resistor-values in the specific circuit depending on LED colour and you have to modify the white plastic housing to keep the dial-LEDs from illuminating the (now different colored) needles.

You can find a picture of my vRS-PCB with the white plastic housing in the background here. The red circles mark the LEDs that I changed to blue for blue dials and LCDs. You can see the two pins of the watertemp- and fuel-needle with a not-marked LED next to it. These LEDs are not equipped on standard Fabias!

You can also find a schematic of a standard Fabia's speedo here. It's basically the same as the vRS except the named LEDs.
