Default TA Dash light color ???????

For you guys with a TA , how did you change the color from red to blue?
post pic's if you got them . Is there an overlay out there that will change the color without the need of wiring ?


Thx

nope, more to it then that, the red comes from the film over the gauge, you eithor try and sand it off, which i heard was a bitch or get a gauge out of a camaro which has a blue film, get some blue LEDS and solder them in. youll also need A/C controls also.

Here's a full write-up:http://www.evlls1.com/interiorlighting.html
There is a red dye on your stock Trans Am head lamp overlay, therefore you will need to buy a Camaro style head lamp overlay, just as mentioned in the write-up.

I did too!



I always liked the look of the T/A clusters at night so I copied it! On Camaro's it is a simple bulb swap.

There's one bad part, the company that made the blue reverse glow gauges has discontinued them. I was planning on going that route for my TA. Luckily, I came a cross a cluster from an SS Camaro and will use that as my starting point.
