Default IPK screen LED conversion from Yellow to Amber

Here's something I'd been meaning to try out for some time now, anyone else find it looks a bit odd that the highline IPK screen is yellow in colour and doesn't match the rest of the amber dash lighting? Thought I'd try converting the LEDs to amber to see how well it would match the rest of the dash. Worked perfectly, a little hard to capture in pics but the IPK screen now matched the bottom mileage/trip display screen and the rest of the dash perfectly 🙂

Nice! A much improved look there. Just how they should have left the factory!

I think that you can put me on the conversion list as well Rick. i always wondered why the display was different.

Already on the IPK list so put me down for the amber list as well.

No problem can do the conversion for you at the same time as installing the new IPK screen
