The instrument panel is one of the important elements of the interior that the driver pays attention to while driving. Its tuning always catches the eye. Let's talk about the principles and basic ways to improve the panel.

In modern foreign cars there is a whole complex of instruments and sensors, including small displays.

How to tune the instrument panel

I would like to say right away that the boundaries of tuning the instrument panel are limited only by your imagination, the taste and color are up to you to choose. But still, for the most part, we can highlight the replacement of standard lighting, the addition of lighting for sensors, arrows and other components.

In addition to lighting, you can change appearance panels by adding special stickers to the devices. Thus, the appearance of the instrument panel will change. Some car enthusiasts manage to make such stickers themselves by printing them on a laser printer on self-adhesive paper.

The third method and the most expensive is complete replacement instrument panels for a tuned one. Most often, this may be a completely different arrangement of devices, multi-colored lighting, the presence additional devices. The most modern option is to install a large display instead of analog instruments, but such pleasure will cost a lot of money.

LED-based instrument lighting

It often happens that the dim factory backlight of the instrument panel confuses the instrument indicators or is not visible at all. Also, due to such illumination, the driver’s eyes get tired, which can lead to an accident.

The most modern method is LED lighting based on strips. Firstly, they are easy to buy at any auto store, and secondly, they are quick and easy to install. The first thing we need is to remove the instrument panel, depending on the make and model of the car, the panel is removed in different ways, so we will not describe the process of unscrewing and removing the panel.

Now, having removed the panel, unscrew it to the base, so that you can easily get to the standard lighting. As a rule, in passenger cars power supply 12V, same power supply and LED Strip Light.

Next, you should be good with a soldering iron; you will need to remove the standard light bulbs and solder an LED strip in their place. As a soldering fastener, you can use two small wires, but not very thin ones; they can burn out due to the load.

It is advisable to place the LED strip evenly over the entire surface. As practice shows, it is better to solder several short strips than one long one, and the likelihood of combustion is less, and there will be no load on one power supply.

If you are not comfortable with a soldering iron, then it is better to turn to experienced ones, since here you need to be careful and careful, the slightest short circuit can burn the entire instrument panel.

Once all the strips have been soldered, it’s worth checking, connecting the instrument panel with a surface-mounted installation and turning on the backlight; if everything is done correctly, all the strips will glow. The strips themselves can be attached using double-sided tape, so the backlight will be distributed evenly across all devices. All that remains is to put everything back together in reverse order, tighten the instrument panel and enjoy.

Film instead of LEDs

More in a simple way can be considered using film instead of LEDs or LED strip. The advantage of this method is its simplicity and lower costs. Getting started is the same as in the previous case. It is worth unscrewing and removing the instrument panel, then disassembling it to the base where the backlight is located. Now the procedure begins to differ. Typically, the factory backlight is white (in domestic cars), and the color changes thanks to the film on the back of the devices.

The more transparent the film, the brighter the instrument illumination will be; depending on the color of the film, the instrument illumination will be. The principle is designed in such a way that light from a standard backlight passes through the film, thereby changing color and illuminating the devices.

Here, as they say, the colors will be limited by your imagination; you can make numbers of one color, arrows of another, and lines of a third. Some amateurs use sandpaper and a scratch pad to clean the base of the instruments on the back side (from the backlight side) so that the numbers and indicators appear brighter. The film can be used as a special film, also sold in car dealerships, or you can find it yourself from scrap materials. A big plus is that no changes will be made to the electronics, which means there can be no short circuit.

Putting a sticker on the dashboard

In addition to the above mentioned methods for changing the color of the backlight, you can also change the appearance, that is, the image of the instruments as the driver will see them.

For this purpose, special stickers are most often used. To do this, you should disassemble the instrument panel and get to the instrument backing, on which the values ​​and numbers are printed.

It is worth remembering that stickers are sold for each model, make and year of manufacture of the car separately. As an example, it may be the same car, make and model, even year of manufacture, but the instrument panel is different. One will have a tachometer, the other will not. Therefore, stickers should be selected very carefully.

Before gluing, try it superficially on the factory panel to see if it fits the fasteners, or if there is anything that interferes with the smooth application of the sticker. If the old coating can be removed, then it is better to do so; the new sticker will look much prettier. Now that everything is fine, the surface on which you will glue it should be wiped with a degreaser. Glue one side and, while pressing the sticker, slowly pull off the protective layer. It’s important to smooth it out so that there is no air under the sticker, otherwise the temperature will cause it to peel away from the surface in a few months.

After completing the procedures, you can put everything back together and mounted it to see how well the instrument panel has improved. Next, we assemble everything in reverse order, installing the panel in its proper place.

Replacing the instrument panel with a new one

As we previously recalled, in addition to the suggested methods, there is also the most expensive, but also the highest quality option, which is a complete replacement of the instrument panel. Nowadays, instrument panels that are based on a large display instead of analog instruments are in fashion.

Even on domestic cars you can install such a miracle and the panel will take on a modern look. When choosing, it is worth remembering all the parameters of your car, since even different engines may play a role in selection. Such a panel allows you to completely customize the devices to your taste, their location, lighting and other parameters. In a word, do everything to the driver’s taste. Below we have provided a video example of the operation of such an instrument panel on a VAZ 2114 car.

This technology is based on a large display covering the entire instrument panel, a minicomputer based on Android and a set of devices, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth.

Such a replacement is usually short-lived, but expensive, so first you should think about whether you need it or just for beauty.

Instrument panel tuning price

The cost of parts may depend on what you want to get as a result. For example, an LED strip 10-15 cm long will cost about $1-2, but if you take color film, then the costs are less, or you can even find something similar at home in the garage.

As for the display instead of the instrument panel, for the same VAZ 2114 it will cost $300-400. But still, again it all depends on the modification installed software and a set of additional functions of such an instrument panel. On average, replacing the entire panel takes a couple of hours.

Video interactive display on VAZ 2114:

The dashboard is a multifunctional element of the car, which is always in sight of the driver. It houses the main control and measuring instruments. The light shows in what operating mode the main components of the car operate. As a rule, the panel design is designed according to factory parameters, which do not always fit harmoniously into the design. Tuning dashboard will help make the driver's seat vehicle not only original, but also more convenient to use.

Decorative tuning method

When making changes to the design of this part of the car, it is necessary to ensure a harmonious combination of the finished product with the overall interior of the cabin. The final design must fully comply with all requirements passive safety. Most car owners want to replace a regular panel with a new one. That is why in this article we will tell you about the most interesting methods of improving this part of the machine.

The decorative tuning method is performed by adding external parts to the main element. Such details may include:

• leatherette for covering the panel;
• overlays;
• use of bright colors for instrument scales.

In order to fully carry out all the operations of the decorative method, it is necessary to partially or completely disassemble the car’s dashboard.

Color change

1. To change the color on the instrument scale, you need to take measurements from the old one.
2. Next, a new scale is prepared. Numbers and divisions are written on it. In this case, you can use a computer program with graphics functions. It will facilitate the process of making a beautiful blank, for which you can choose the font you like, and help you adjust the size of the inscriptions.
3. The resulting template is applied to the prepared material, which is intended for the new scale. The following materials are suitable for this - plastic, self-adhesive film, photo paper, colored tape, vinyl film.
4. In a situation where the tachometer or speedometer is improved Before installing the improved scale, it is necessary to remove the measurement arrow and then put it back.

It should be remembered that tuning the dashboard with your own hands is a long process that requires patience and care.

Covering is used when the coating has lost its original appearance and there are obvious defects on the surface. Using leatherette for fitting, it is cut according to the size and shape of the product. This is necessary so that the material does not fold or stretch. High-quality execution of the process is only possible with the panel removed. When the product is removed, the seams and joints will be more neat. Ordinary cardboard can be used as cutting material. Having made the cutting, we check how all the parts fit together into one whole. We sew all the cutting elements into a single product. We do this so that all the seams are hidden inside. The final fixation of the stitched leatherette is done using special glue and original self-tapping screws.

The selection of material requires special attention. Choosing a cut you like does not mean that it will fully correspond to the functional parameters. Some materials may create glare when exposed to sunlight. Others will be allocated to the salon bad smell or lose their properties under the influence of elevated temperatures.

Technical tuning method

Under technical view This implies the improvement of this machine part in the direction of increasing its functional parameters. An exemplary example of such work would be the replacement of standard shapes and sizes control devices, installation of bright and economical LEDs instead of incandescent lamps, installation of various switches and devices. Icons on the dashboard can also be part of the overall tuning.

To complete the process at a high-quality level, you need to clearly have a diagram of the panel in front of you and clearly understand what result you want to get. This formulation of the problem is necessary in order to correctly connect additional consumers to the on-board network.

Installation of LEDs

Installing LEDs instead of incandescent lamps is the most common method technical tuning. To complete this process, you need to do the following:

1. The first step is to remove the instrument panel.
2. Factory sockets and lamps are removed.
3. The places where LED lamps will be installed are determined. As a rule, they are located along the entire perimeter of instrument scales.
4. The shade that the LED lamps will produce should create comfortable driving conditions without straining your eyesight. It should not be too bright in the dark and be clearly visible at dusk..
5. A hole is drilled into which the LED housing is placed.
6. The LEDs are connected to each other using soldering. For this, a flexible wire of small thickness is used.
7. The use of a variable resistor will allow you to adjust the brightness of the lighting of the devices. In some models, a standard rheostat may be used for this.
8. LED lights in the dashboard can be installed in white. The desired shade can be obtained using a light filter. To do this, you can use such improvised means as nail polish, self-adhesive paper or transparent plastic that was part of old appliances.
9. Having soldered the LEDs to the power wires, we connect them to the dashboard. This is done in the correct polarity.
10. If the lamps work well under different lighting conditions, then you can assemble everything.

Hands illumination

The arrows can be illuminated by mounting LED lamps on the backlight plexiglass. If you supply power from the red block, you can backlight the hands separately from the entire product. The key feature of such a connection will be the arrows lighting up at start. By installing an LED next to the arrow, it will be possible to change the color of the arrow itself as the vehicle speed increases.

Now you know all the basic methods for improving the appearance of your car dashboard. By making this car part, you can significantly improve the interior design and increase the driver's comfort while using the vehicle.

The dashboard of a car is a very important part of it. It is with the help of the dashboard that the motorist can quickly navigate the road and make the right decision, understand whether he should speed up or whether it’s time to switch to another gearbox stage. In any case, not only the safety of the motorist on the road, but also his comfort behind the wheel will depend on how well the dashboard works.

It is also worth mentioning the appearance of the dashboard, because it is the dashboard that the driver constantly sees in front of him. And it is this element of the car that should be monitored and, if necessary, put in order, regardless of whether you have an old car or a new one.
Even with the help of the simplest actions that can be performed by almost any motorist who is able to disassemble the dashboard of his car, you can transform it and make it truly unique.

What is dashboard tuning like?

Tuning this element of the car can be conditionally classified as either functional improvements or aesthetic ones. Often, motorists who are thinking about improving their car dashboard have both goals and want to make the panel both more beautiful and more functional.

A rather complex but interesting process of tuning the dashboard in detail:

Functional tuning is primarily aimed at either replacing vehicle controls or instruments with more advanced analogues, or simply involves adding additional instruments or controls. The main goal of such tuning is to improve the quality of obtaining information about the condition of the car or about weather or other conditions outside.
Aesthetic tuning, in turn, is aimed solely at improving the appearance of the dashboard. Naturally, such improvements can be made even at the expense of functionality, which does not always have a good effect on the car, but if a person wants to do something with his car, it is difficult to stop him.

Difficulties of functional tuning

Often, functional tuning is limited only to replacing older or faulty car devices with newer and more modern ones. However, we should not forget that functional tuning also includes the installation additional elements car control like immobilizer, on-board computer or built-in additional devices. The main problem with such modification is not so much the choice of components as their proper installation. Most often, novice tuning enthusiasts who want to carry out such an installation at home will have to face such a problem as difficulties in calibrating devices. Imagine that the speedometer will show an inadequate speed of the car or the fuel gauge will deceive you at the most inopportune moment.

Separately, it is necessary to say about such a point as the legality of modifications. That is, if the design of the car provides for a speedometer or tachometer of the exact model that is installed at the factory, it will be quite difficult to explain its replacement during maintenance. Therefore, it is better to carry out aesthetic tuning of devices that have already been installed on the car, and place additional ones either on top of the dashboard or in those places that are still free.
Aesthetic question

When carrying out aesthetic tuning, you need to carefully plan everything, because you will need no less skills than when carrying out a functional improvement of the dashboard, and in addition to it you will also need an excellent sense of taste. If you yourself know what you want, all that remains is to prepare the necessary materials and elements, and we’ll talk about this a little later, but if you don’t have a clear plan, then it’s worth developing it in advance.


First of all, look for inspiration on car forums or ask for advice from motorist friends who have tuned their cars. Naturally, each person has his own taste, but someone’s ready-made improvements may well lead you to an interesting solution that you can later implement.
In addition, knowing what you want to achieve with your car, you can easily choose necessary materials and apply certain solutions related to the production of elements necessary for tuning.

Where to start tuning

No matter how you plan to improve your car’s dashboard, first of all prepare necessary tools:

Instrument panel disassembly tools
Industrial dryer
Utility knife or sharp blade
Required Wiring and Controls
Soldering iron and solder

The rest of the necessary tools and materials will vary depending on what you are going to do with the dashboard. You may also need specific tools if disassembling the panel requires using non-standard techniques and non-standard tools. Find out in advance what tools are needed to remove the car trim and unscrew those elements that need to be replaced or modified.

Disassembling the dashboard

Experts recommend carrying out any work in a dry, dust-free room. This is enough important point, on which the overall success of our venture depends. Firstly, dust can prevent us from evenly gluing various colored films to change the color of the instrument lighting on the panel, and high humidity will simply ruin the wiring.
You should carefully remove the trim on the dashboard of your car in order to gain access to those controls or monitoring the condition of the car that you want to work on. If you are going to change the scale on the instruments, we advise you to remove the arrows very carefully. A simple marker is ideal for this, which marks the junction of the arrow using a dash or dots. If the arrow is soldered, you can use a soldering iron and heat the tin that holds the arrow to the coil. However, do not forget that the arrow will still need to be installed back, and in order to do this correctly, you need to mark the connection points, because otherwise calibration can only be carried out in a car service center.

How to improve your dashboard

Once you've disassembled the dashboard to the point where it can be worked on, it's worth stopping and rethinking what you're planning to do. You also need to check whether your modifications will damage the car and if everything is in order, then you can continue.
After this, you can do almost whatever you want with your dashboard, but with the abundance of different possibilities, you often start to get lost, so let's look at several tuning options.

Changing the instrument scale

First of all, you can replace the scale on the instruments. To do this, you can either paint over the old scale and apply a design on it by hand or using a stencil, or stick a special film with a printed design on top of the scale. Most often, this option gives the most beautiful and high-quality result.

In order to make such a film, it is enough, even in the simplest graphics editor, to draw a model of what markings you want to see on a particular device and print it on a special film, for which you can contact a printing house. In the same case, if you want to change the color of the arrow or individual elements on the scale of the device, you can even carefully paint over the desired areas with paint. Some motorists who want to achieve interesting glow effects use fluorescent paint for this, which glows perfectly when even a small LED is connected to the backlight.

Replacement of instrument lighting

Since we are talking about adding LEDs to the lighting of certain devices, it is worth saying that LED lighting of devices is a very popular tuning.
However, despite its popularity, you should be very careful when adding or completely replacing the backlight with LED. Firstly, you will have to face a rather complicated process of removing the factory wiring and factory backlight bulbs, and secondly, you can go overboard with the number of LEDs. To prevent this from happening, we advise you to limit yourself to 1-2 LEDs per device, which will be enough for a bright backlight that will be clearly visible at dusk, but it will not hurt your eyes at night.


If the device has a glow from the inside, and the device scale itself is transparent, you can add a little more LEDs, but they should be placed in such a way that their direct light does not fall into the eyes of the driver or passengers.

An interesting way to replace the backlight on a Skoda Octavia:

To install such a backlight, you should use the car’s original wiring, since it is initially connected to the controls and you won’t have to worry about how to power the backlight or where to place the button to turn it on.

Adjusting the brightness of the backlight

Most often, to adjust the brightness of the backlight located behind the device, you need to assemble it, but if something does not suit the brightness, the device will need to be disassembled and adjusted again. In order to avoid wasting time on such actions, we advise you to connect the backlight through a variable rheostat, which can be used to control the intensity of the glow by simply turning it up. Naturally, it is best to carry out the adjustment 3 times - during the day, at dusk and at night, to understand whether it is convenient to look at the devices.

Comprehensive tuning

Quite often, motorists who improve their dashboard with their own hands modify several instruments at once or the overall lighting of the dashboard to make it look more stylish. In this case, it is better to prepare in advance the same templates for the instrument scales and the same color LED backlights. In the same case, if you do not have access to LEDs of the desired color, you can get by with ordinary white LEDs and simply stick a translucent film of the desired color to the desired places. This film will be a regular light filter, and you will achieve the same effect as when using LEDs of different colors.

Tuning techniques

To successfully complete any modification to a car or its dashboard, you need to know a few simple techniques that will allow you to perform the necessary actions. We have already talked about how to properly stick tint film, and these are the same techniques that are used when gluing translucent films to the back of the device display with slots so that the divisions and numbers glow with the right light. Another no less interesting technique is the use of fluorescent paints to paint the needle or scale divisions of the device. To apply this paint evenly, it is enough to use either a simple template over which you can safely paint, or simply carefully apply it with a thin brush.
Also, do not forget about the need to correctly calibrate the pointer after removing it, because an incorrectly calibrated device is a very serious problem that can only be solved in a service center.

Instrument installation and dashboard assembly

Once you're satisfied that you've done everything you wanted and are completely happy with the result, it's time to put the removed instruments back in place, connect them and reassemble the dashboard. Don't forget to check that the devices are powered and that everything is in order with the casing fastenings. If you do everything calmly and don’t rush, then such tuning of the dashboard will not only be no worse than the one for which you would have to pay a fairly large amount in the studio, but even better, because you will do such tuning with your own hands and in You can change or redo something at any time.

To make their car stand out from the gray mass, many car owners do tuning. However, today tuning means not only improving the appearance of the car, but also improving the interior of its cabin. One of the options for improving the interior is tuning the dashboard. You can learn more about this procedure, as well as upgrade options, from the material provided.

Decorative tuning method

If you decide to produce, then you must first ensure optimal combination devices with salon interior. In addition, ultimately, the dashboard must in any case meet all passive safety requirements.

So, the process of decorative improvement itself consists of adding to the existing control panel external elements, For example:

• you can use leatherette to cover the shield with material;
• you can carry out the procedure of sticking special overlays on the scales;
• Tuning the tidy can also involve making the device glow brighter.

Please note that in order to perform tuning yourself, in any case you will have to either partially or completely dismantle the tidy. Next, we will briefly talk about each of the methods.

Tightening the tidy

The procedure for re-upholstering a PP is relevant if the device has lost its original appearance and there are defects on its surface. As a material for upholstery, you can use leatherette, leatherette or other materials. But you need to take into account that some materials, after reupholstering, can create glare in the sun and also emit an unpleasant odor. Therefore, the issue of material selection should be approached responsibly.

For example, if you decide to use leatherette for upholstery, then first you should cut it, taking into account the size of the PP, as well as its shape. This is done so that the leatherette does not stretch and does not gather in folds, so to reupholster you always need to dismantle the tidy. In this case, you can make more neat and even seams and joints, and you can use regular cardboard for cutting. All components of the cutting are sewn into one whole, and all seams must be hidden inside. The sheathing material itself can be fixed with glue or self-tapping screws (the author of the video about reupholstering is the Puls Avto channel).

In order not to waste time and effort on reupholstering, you can do it simpler - buy a special cover for the instrument panel and simply install it on top. This cover must be selected in accordance with the car model.

Color solutions

Tuning the instrument panel may also involve changing color schemes.

The procedure consists of the following steps:

1. First of all, you need to take measurements from the PP.
2. Next, a new scale is prepared - all the necessary divisions and numbers should be applied to it (there are many options on the Internet, you can download a ready-made one). Stores also sell ready-made decorative dashboards, so if your budget allows, you can buy a full-fledged branded device.
3. After this, the template you made or downloaded should be attached to the material that will be used on the new scale. Alternatively, thin plastic, photo paper, etc. can be used as the material.
4. If you decide to install chrome rings in the dashboard on the tachometer or speedometer, or simply install a new scale, then for better fixation the instrument needles should be removed. Chrome rings can also be purchased in stores or online. Of course, it will need to be reinstalled later.

Installation of LEDs

A DIY LED panel is also quite simple and one of the most common tuning options.

This procedure is carried out as follows:

1. First, the PP must be dismantled, all standard light bulbs must be removed.
2. Next, you need to determine the places where you will install diode lighting sources - of course, for better visibility they should be placed around the perimeter.
3. Decide on the color of the diodes - it should provide comfortable conditions while driving, without disturbing the driver.
4. Next, you have two options - either simply replace the light bulbs with diodes, buying the appropriate ones in the store so that they fit the standard sockets, or install diodes in new places. To do this, you will need to drill holes on the PCB where the light source will be installed. Of course, the first option is simpler, there is nothing complicated in its implementation, but we will consider the second method.
5. After the holes are drilled, the light sources should be connected to each other using soldering - for the connection you can use a flexible wire, its thickness should be small.
6. So that you can subsequently adjust the brightness of the lighting, you can add a variable resistor to the circuit. Depending on the model, an auto rheostat installed during production can be used for this purpose.
7. If you use white light sources, then in order to provide a different shade, you can paint the light bulb with varnish or special paper.
8. The diode elements should be soldered to the power circuit, and then connected to the PCB; it is important to observe polarity.
9. Then the control panel’s performance is diagnosed and its further installation on the car (the author of the video is Lesha Master).

Painting the tidy

Another option is to paint the instrument panel, or rather, the scales themselves - tachometer, speedometer, you can also paint temperature sensors, fuel volume, etc. If you install diode lighting sources in the panel, then painting the PP (necessarily with luminescent paint) will give the device a brighter and more modern look. It is necessary to paint carefully so as not to splatter the paint on the shield, otherwise not only the scales will stand out, but also traces of the paint, and this will not look aesthetically pleasing.

New dashboard lighting in classical people's carVAZ gives the interior sophistication and a sense of comfort. Installing neon or even LED illumination on a car requires a lot of money for such an expensive pleasure. The best way to solve the problem is to replace the dashboard backlight on your own. The process of replacing the lighting in your garage, firstly, is not complicated, and secondly, it requires less money. One of the options for tuning your car is a special overlay for the dashboard, but this will cost a lot. It will be better if you do the tuning of the instrument panel yourself.

To complete the job you need to be patient, as well as tools and necessary materials. The first step in creating perfection is disassembling the dashboard. To do this, you need to remove the protective glass of the devices. The next step is to remove the arrows from the instruments. To avoid damaging the arrows made of fragile material, before removing the arrow with a screwdriver, place several layers of cardboard under the opposite end of the plastic. Using a little force, gently remove the arrow from the axis. Similar actions need to be done with the remaining arrows.

The dashboard backing is also very easy to remove. To remove it, you need any stationery knife. The edge of a knife is inserted between the panel and the substrate, and then we cut a layer of sealant around the perimeter of the substrate. After removing the protective glass backing, we proceed to further work on tuning the panel.

A light filter is placed on the surface of the dashboard under the backing, which evenly distributes lighting over the entire area of ​​the panel. This light filter must be removed using a utility knife, carefully scraping off the light-conducting layer.

A light filter is a special paint that is applied to the back side of the dashboard substrate and provides color illumination for numbers and other information indicators. After rough processing of the substrate, the places where the light filter was applied must be treated with acetone or alcohol. The reagent will remove any remaining paint, as well as degrease the surface and prepare it for the next treatment process.

At the next stage of work, you will need to change the dashboard lighting. First you need to “get your teeth into it,” so to speak, and change the odometer backlight. An odometer is an indicator of the distance traveled by a car, measured in kilometers or miles. In order to install a new odometer backlight, you must first remove the odometer screen, remove the blue protective film, remove the old backlight bulb and replace it with a new LED. For the new dashboard lighting, you can use a multi-color LED, which has the ability to change colors at the user’s request. The LED is connected to the standard light bulb socket, then we put the odometer screen in its place.

The next step is to completely replace the dashboard lighting. We attach new LEDs to the instrument panel frame. The multicolor LEDs that we are installing in this case are sold complete with a color switch. If your budget is limited, you can avoid using multi-color LEDs in favor of regular ones. We install the LEDs on the seats and connect them with the standard contact of the previous dashboard lighting.

The speedometer and tachometer arrows must be able to change the backlight. Carrying out such an operation will require removing the old paint from the arrow. In order for the paint to be easily removed, you must first remove it from the surface with a stationery knife, and then go over the surface with acetone or industrial alcohol. When the arrow is clear of paint, you can paint it with white nail polish or something else. The main thing in this process is that the arrow is exactly white, since only white color can convey the entire range of LEDs.

If you have installed multi-color LED lighting on the dashboard of your VAZ car, you need to install a color switch to be able to select the color of the dashboard lighting. It is recommended to install the switch in the lower right corner of the dashboard. When all the work has already been done, you can begin the final assembly of the finished panel.

The first step is to start by installing the underlay. We apply a layer of sealant to the back side of the substrate so that it adheres firmly to the base. Next, we install the instrument arrows in their places and cover the structure with protective glass.
