Instrument cluster polo

Post by Drift Devil »

Finding out for a friend. One of the instrument cluster lights are gone on his polo vivo sedan. Can he change the bulb or does he need to replace the entire circuit board? ImageImageImage

@hubbly_bubbly has changed the colour of his lights on one of his car's clusters before. Maybe he can share his knowledge if this is possible?

The board only has surface mounted LED’s.. just need to replace them. Buy a few and replace all of them in any colour you like.

Yes Yes. It is possible to replace. You do need to desolder the blown LED and resolder the new.

Great opportunity for a colour change if you are up for it.
