dash ilumination

shrops_paul · 27-11-2003, 21:28

a wierd question; has anyone got a pic of the octavia RS dash lit up at night, or a link to a pic of this?

I wanted to know what colour it was an what it looked like. Kinda hoping for blue light a golf?

no pics but i'll have to disappoint you. blue seems to be the sole reserve of vw's in VAG.

the octy is green lit with red needles in the RS.

shrops_paul · 27-11-2003, 21:40

Red & green? Sounds nice. I suppose its gree to go with the skode logo. Anyone got a pic for me?

Bit of photoshopping has made it a bit better.

Your fuel gauge looks like mine, completely empty.

Witchfinder · 28-11-2003, 12:23

It's virtually identical to the VW panel, only with green in place of the blue.

**TaviaRS** · 28-11-2003, 12:53

Looks nice with a couple of Defis to the right of the pod

just remembered this thread so went out to take a pic.

bit low-res for ease of attachment.

Hmm. When I get a chance I'll post a pic of the L&K dash - although one thing has always bothered me. The MFD on the L&K is orange, not green, and it stick out like a sore thumb. I would have though green would have been an option, as the similar display in an Audi appears in red.

AARRGGHH!

I was quite happy with an orange MFD in the middle of the green instrument panel. The difference in colour dodn't even register on a conscious level.

Now I'll be looking at it and thinking "it should be green...."

Kentish · 01-12-2003, 10:36

I,m glad mines red, as I think green would have been too bright.

daver · 05-12-2003, 13:57

Any one know how the different lighting colours are achieved on the various VAG group models, mine is a VRS Octy and I would like it BLUE. to match my V Exp Pioneer DEH P9400 Hu and Nokia when in the HF kit but dont want to dimantl ethe dash.... Ive had a look and it looks as if Skoda have used the dashboard to assemble the whole car, ven the exhast looks like it has managed to get in on the act in some strange manner!
