What did you do with your DII today?

Hey Twix... doing the instrument panel is next on my to do list after I change the window button LEDs.
I'm kind of leary taking the instrument panel all apart. I don't want to bugger it up.
I understand what you mean about the BMW interior reddish lights being easier on the eyes. My wife has them in her X5.

Goodluck either way, I'm interested in how this all turns out for you

I got a fever... and the only prescription is more blue LEDs....
Here is my instructions for the LED mod on the Disco 2... https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...96/#post617317
The window switches before and after with the blue LEDs. The process for these window switches is the same as the door unlock switch I described earlier as far as soldering in the LEDs.
Ye Olde school green LEDs in the window switches.
New blue LEDs on window switches. The iPhone camera makes them look crazy bright but they aren't.

Finally at the point in my life where the rover is "done". Journey began in May 2016. Started from stock and went to town. It would be easier to list what I have not done... anyway I'm headed out into the Cleveland national forest this weekend for a little test run.
here's a few shots of the interior
And yes... I have a reverse camera! Finally. As of 2 days ago.

Used mine to learn about mud...
Thankfully I was on a country road, well-traveled by lifted 4x4's of all kinds. After learning how to use a high lift jack in a solo attempt to unstick myself, I ended up getting winched by two guys - one in a Cherokee on 35's, the other in a stripped down old International Scout. Great lessons in mud and recovery... at the cost of my front bumper. Just the excuse I needed to get a steel bumper!

(Tough to get yourself unstuck with front wheels turned, though... unless you get help)
