Please note: 

If self fitting you do this at your own risk. If you do not have the necessary tools or skills to perform this then we recommend that you have it fitted by a specialist. You will need to confirm your 12v power supply dependent on your cluster, this switches the plasma lighting on and off.

 

Some tools will be needed to remove the speedo and perform the modification. Always wear appropriate safety equipment when using tools. estimated 3 hours of work start to finish.

Tech Specs dial fitting photos and cluster internals

The VDO 2000 to 2001(bulb illumination)  cluster differs from 2002 to 2004(led backlighting as standard) , circuit board and illumination differences exist between earlier 1999 and 2001-2004 cars. Change over exists on the models around 2000.

The dial can work in both types of clusters.

 

The later 2001 onwards speedo  uses LED  to illuminate the dials. We recommend the plasma lighting kit add on to get the best results when using the dial for this combination.

 

Our dials have been designed for manual gearbox cars only and we have only printed them for petrol engines speedos showing 7k on the rev counter-

Although we have fitted them to diesel cars ,

if you use the petrol dial on a diesel car it will work but the rev counter will go to 7k instead of 6k.

We have fitted this for some customers who were ok with this.

It is possible to use the illumination original bulbs on the VDO (cluster with rear  twist in bulbs ) version VDO  1999/ 2000 and not use plasma cicuitry

********but the  lighting effect is not as good****- see gallery no.2 - using bulbs and cluster specifics below:- 

The youtube video demonstrates  the dial with plasma lighting and shows more vibrant colors >> hence we recommend plasma options.

Both options with/without plasma need cluster housing modifications but at different locations. 

 

The plasma option will need some modification to the speedo cluster housing as detailed in our pics. Essentially some holes cut out to run the cables through and some soldering to some points for the power supply 12v. PRND housing structure is not affected as the disc will sit over it. Hence it can only be used for manual cars so the gear selector can be used on the cluster.

Cluster specifics: 

1. VDO 1999/2000 early cluster type that

uses bulbs (twist in T5 bulbs at the rear see more info here 

2. VDO 2001/2004 type LEDS - can only

use plasma electronics more here 

If your model is a late VDO  with LED then you

must use plasma pack dial kit +plasma backlighting
