Do you think it might burn thru?

I haven't got all my LEDs in my car yet, but I did the HVAC and does it seem like anyone elses HVAC is dimmer with the LEDs? I used the 74-whp (white high power) wedge base bulbs. Just wondering if anyone ran into the same problem.

here is what the white leds look like in the camaro gauges. you can see the blue tint they have. keep in mind they look dim in the pictures because i had to turn the brightness down on the camera or the pictures looked blurry. i also did the stock monsoon headunit with white leds, the only thing left to do is the steering wheel controls.

Do I order 2 White 74-W for the doors? And what do I order for the foglight and asr switches? And did you order a 3mm or 5mm neowedge led for the headlight panel?

So wait is it 5 or 8 bulbs needed for the gauge cluster?

Also, with LEDs does the dimmer still work or is it always full brightness?

Hello all,

It looks like I have a parts list going for mine. I have 2 questions though.....

1. What bulb # (or LED part #) is used in the radio?

2. What bulb # (or LED part #) is used in the ASR and Foglight switch buttons.

My vehicle year is 1999. Model is a Camaro SS
