Anyone know if the drivers arm rest control cluster is meant to light up?

There are 3 led bulbs in there.. just be careful it doesn't all spring out when you take it apart!!
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Does Drivers arm rest light up???
And rev3+ only had one LED in there lighting up 'auto'.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Does Drivers arm rest light up???
Quite easy really.. Pull 'em apart, take the standard led out (note the anode and cathode) and stick a white in there..

that is indeed being printed! and thanking you very much! the new year begins and odds are will be done very soon it's jus too frickin cold! but i'm gonna do it! much appreciated
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Does Drivers arm rest light up???
It's worth doing the 'auto up' on the drivers window (as you have a UK car) too while you're in there.
There's a guide on the OC, although it doesn't mention what diode to use. But it's a superb feature to have

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Does Drivers arm rest light up???
From a scrapped import rev1 or rev2! There are a few different versions actually, the one I've got has got blanked of spaces for LEDs to illuminate the words 'Window Lock' and 'Door Lock' which I mean to stick LEDs in. Also remember the covers with the lettering on are different depending on whether the car had retracting mirrors or not (but can easily be swapped over between units).
Check http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=95719 for photos of disassembling the unit if required.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Does Drivers arm rest light up???
Cool thanks! I'm a bit disapointed that the arrows on the wing mirror adjust button dont light up though.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Does Drivers arm rest light up???
Would be awesome if some1 could make it so it all lights up!
Maybe a bit of a money making scheme in there for somebody if some1 could spare the time!
Would look pretty sweet
