Please see the following pic. It's rear side of the panel. And there is green painting.
So if I install white LEDs, the light color will be green....

So I scraped green painting with like a needle. Also, I changed "0" to VW emblem. :D
Yeah, I got white ! :D (Please note that I also scraped small panel for dial.)

Next ! Installation of LEDs ! I installed 3 LEDs (5mm) with 1 CRD ( CRD = Current Regulating Diode).
(If you wanna know the general connection, please click here.j

Regarding 2 LEDs, I scraped and plugged them into the hole of plastic panel. (I made 2 holes for 2 LEDs.)
And I installed 1 LED into the top of plastic panel. Mmmmm.... It's difficult for me to explain. Anyway, please see below! :)

After that, I tested LED lights. But unfortunaterly, red line of heater was slightly dark...

So I scraped red line !
And I painted "white sheet" red.
