Default 99.5 white dash light conversion

I would like white backlighting on my 99.5 A4 like on the 2000+. If anybody knows how to do this please let me know.

Are they even compatible for a swap? I'd say no due to the trip comp and the clock.

you're correct..NOT compatible. The clock is the major difference

Default I will gladly swap if it is possible but...

I think its not too. 99.5 has analog clock, no date display. but i am talking to audi right now to see if it will work. Also, my friend has a 2000 and i am trying to convince him to let me try it in mine to see if it works.

will let you know.
e mail me if you were serious about switching, or if you weren't and want to make fun of me because I am asking if you were.

I want the lights behind to be white, not the faces.

Default NOOOO!!!! All red lighting rules!!! (see inside for my idea of the perfect A4)

Keep: ESP, quattro celebration package, xenons, side-guard

Bring Back: Red dash lights, analog clock

Add: Euro-taillights, (Euro fronts, but they're not legal) Call current sport package "sport-luxury" and add new package called "full-sport" to include the euro-sport springs & shocks and different available 17" wheel designs.

I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones that come quickly to mind. Also, for the new A4, keep the headlight lever (Audi-ness) and get rid of that damn rotary switch!

All of the above is just my opinion of course!!
