Could be worse--could light up the blue and orange all the new VWs have.
But alas, the radio in my Vanagon glows green, and the digital clock on the
dash has ALL the LCD bars displayed.  When the panel light burned out, I
never replaced it.

What's stuck in my craw is my warped door panels.  I assume this is due to
moisture damage.  Anyone have any success in flattening these out?
