Go Westy has LED lights in three colors plus white for the auto shifter console (http://www.gowesty.com/product-details.php?v=&id=23493), and LED replacements for all the other interior and exterior lighting. I have blue and it's great. The headrest has hairpin clips in the black plastic grommets where the posts enter the seat back. Pop them out with a screwdriver, but put a rag over them or they might fly off to never-never land. BTDT. While you have the console off, check your AT switch too, they are usually worn out by now. GW is sold out, but I think others have this, including the dealer. You can find yourself without backup lights or the neutral position not having starting capability (handy if the engine dies while moving). BTDT that too. http://www.gowesty.com/product-details.php?v=&id=21754 and http://www.gowesty.com/product-details.php?v=&id=21767 Stuart -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Gordon Mah Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2016 10:22 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Just some annoyances.. Today I'm asking about 3 annoyances to make wife happy: 1) What options are out there to add night lighting to the gear box area, either from above or below? At night it is easy to switch into 2nd gear when you want to be in "D" simply because it is dark and you overshot the position: https://s19.postimg.org/mkaasgi1f/gearbox_lighting.jpg 2) Lights were acceptably dim in those 1989 days. Can this light be replaced with something brighter without blowing a fuse? The light above the driver's door is also quite dim. https://s19.postimg.org/7plpea8gj/light.jpg 3) This one is just cosmetic. Does anyone have a source for this headrest in black/gray? Secondly, any idea how to remove these? Mine don't seem to budge. https://s19.postimg.org/i0y26y05v/head_rest.jpg Thanks! -g= |
