Default Red Dash light mod?

Hey, for those that have turned the dash lights red in your WRX/STi. Do you double up the Radio bulbs? or the heater control knobs? I can't remember which. I recall only doubling up one or the other. Help.

Matt

Matt - are you asking this question while looking at your dash torn apart?

Let me know how that turns out. Sorry, I am no help with your request.

No, I'm helping someone do their dash later tonight, someone not YET in the club. I've done this a couple of times now, and watched Scott do it at least once, and I can't remember for sure which way it goes. I think it's two covers over the heater stuff, and one over the radio.

You double the lights for the heater, or it would look orange/pinkish.

Are you doing my neighbors car, by chance?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you use one on the radio and two on the HVAC. I hope I'm right.

sweet. I remember we forgot to do the actual radio display, then when we did it got tweaked from the sauder and had to be fixed. Definately for sure you need to double wrap the heater control bulbs.

Good luck.
