Hi everyone just a update

I spent a bit of time to sort gear selector illumination,

I had to remove centre console then un-clip the cover to get to circuit board and well it turned out to be snapped was a bit annoyed so when onto ebay and could only find one for £70 now well annoyed so called Focus city in Beverley and yep they had one complete unit £40,

Then changed all led`s and re-installed now looking amazing pics don`t do it justice.

SO QUESTION what are the 2 Led`s in  the roof light that flood red light over centre console also how do I pull apart switch`s to change them from green to blue

 

Cheers

Those would be ambient lighting. Not sure how you'd go about changing them over but maybe someone on here could point you in the right direction.
