    Hey Hey..

    Can you change the orange lighting on the ****pit dash panel and speedo....I have looked at other sites but not seeing a kit/mod for this (i know it's not a fitted function like the mood lighting) ??? Any ideas

    hahaha that's brilliant!

    And I'm sure it can be done as I have seen pics somewhere in my search of MINI's where someone had blue backlighting. I know in the old smart, it was a matter of taking the dials out, and replacing the LED's to the choosen colour. On the new smart, it was do-able, but only with a soldering iron.

    I wouldnt trust you with a soldering iron Vaughan! lol

    Simon at EssentialMini does it. Costs around £100, plus his travel expenses.

    Gismo had it done on his MINI
