The original LED's work on 2V and the Blue LED's work on 3.5 ~ 4 Volts.

Dash removal I can explain, but the conversion from green to blue, wel, its just to complicated to explain... Do you have experience in electronics?? :?: It's not that I do not want to help a fellow V-dub fan, its just that you can damage your complete cluster... And I don't even want to know what the replacement cost will be... :shock:

On the pictures, you can see how small the LED's are, and how thin the copper tracks are... You also going to need a decent soldering iron (at least a temp. regulating solder station)...

Just to give you an idea, I studied 5 years for an Electronic Engineer and still it was tricky for me to do the conversion :shock:

But in the end, it was worth it....
