Title: buttons buttons
Post by: majesticlarge on 22 October 2010, 10:46:10

If i get the switches to fit in where the blanks are (TC) etc.. I know they wont work but would they light up ? I have looked behind the blanks and the metal connections are there.

I would have thought so but you would probably need the relavant blub/housing? i take it you dont like them being blank?

just make sure whatever switches you get have working bulbs, and there are 3 types of buttons for the pre/minifacelifts

1 is smooth black plastic
2nd is textured black plastic
3rd is ruber feel and generally nasty feeling, rubber often wwears off making the switch look white.

is there anyway to make them do what there ment to do or does the car have to be a V6 elite?

You`re only missing two switches. TC not feasible on a 4-pot. Rear blind not doable on an estate.

Forgot about that one :-[. Switch will illuminate but should imagine it`s a fair bit of mucking about to get the tailgate to actuate. Not even sure whether it`s doable :-/

just remember to take them out when you sell it, or you will be plagued with phonecalls of "this doesnt work and that does jack.."
