There was a guy who fitted led's to the Cav heater panels on MIG or VxON a few years back. They did look ace, Think they were bout £60 though.

Today i decided to get a couple of jobs done, fit the heated panel and swap the middle bit of the dash for a new one i had waiting

All bagged up waiting to go in.

While i was there i wired up the other 2 switches (the aircon ones next to the heated rear window) so i can use them for other things and not have to hack the dash about to fit extra switches.
