Love that blue, is it just the case of swapping leds/bulbs.

@scatman75 and @scoobysrt, cheers guys. It’s surface mounted LEDs, six different ones. Over 70 for everything including the stereo.
Plcc-2 3528
Plcc-4 3528
0805
1206
KA-4040QBS-D-LED-SMD-4040
And 3mm 3v

Plus LED 12v roll for footwell lights

The cluster needs needles swapping or converting and LEDs

Today. . . . . . . Front and rear 4K Kenwood dash cams hard wired in.
Managed to fully route the rear wire through the body and through the rubber grommet/sleeve into the large barn door so no wires on show at all.
Real easy mod that we’ve been meaning to do for ages, best thing is they are on sale at Kenwood at the moment. So real happy.

Fitted this today. Apparently you have to remove the whole dashboard and fit a new heater box to update your heater controls...
Found an easier way

Just out of interest bud, which fuses for your hardwire cables did you use? This is on my job list....

@benj87
Will take pics for you tomorrow when it’s light, I used one of the spare permanent live fuses, just checked using my multi meter.
Will Bob photo up once I’m home from work tomoz afternoon.
Was really easy to wire, and hide cable behind the a pillar trim and headlining.
Works a treat with the smart parking mode, especially after having two vehicles damaged by footballs and people unable to reverse correctly in the past.

Eventually got around to upgrading the speakers. Removed the front tweeters and door speakers and replaced with custom fitted Audison Widebands in the A pillar sail panels, Audison door speakers, processor and sub. Wanted to keep the original head unit as I’ve now got Apple CarPlay on it.
Professional set up.....Amazing difference!!

Thanks Proempie....really impressed with the Audison quality!
Can’t take all the credit as it was recommended, fitted and set up by a chap called Nick who runs Cornwall in-car Audio and AV. Really clever chap and knows his stuff. Highly recommend the chap.

Very nice setup, I've got my eye on the active version of that subwoofer.
Where have you got it mounted?
That amplifier is a cracking piece of equipment, I wish I could justify the cost.
