Crystal gear and dials arrived a couple weeks ago.

Not had time to fully instal. Got caught up sweating my socks off with covid.

Ive done the buttons/dials across the dash.
Using the included sticky silicone putty, the Start and Auto climate buttons were easy enough to swap out... and then there's the volume dial.

The face of the Start and Auto climate buttons are direct replacements, but for the Volume button its a cover that sits over the original, resulting in very little to no light passing through. It sounds petty, but its annoying as hell and stands out like a sore thumb.

Turns out the volume button isn't so easy to remove. The face of it is one piece which is part of the dial structure attached to the mechanism on the inside of the panel.

It annoyed me enough to have a brilliantly stupid idea... drill the top of the button!

Gotta risk it for a biscuit.
