Guys,

Ive changed the SMDs on the instrument cluster to have a blue under vxr mode and it wont change over to blue. All the connections are fine and when connected a multi meter to the LED's they all light up?

Has anyone else achieved this or is it something that i should have done...

Oli

thank you for the quick reply Rusty. Will check again tomorrow. Does it switch over all the LEDs at once? because when the VXR button is pressed not even the white lights go out
