A break down of the full numbers for certian years would be nice (I have an 01), I did my gauge cluster yesterday(I used 8 blue WLED-x-x LED bulb 120deg, not as bright as I was thinking), but the dimmer LED was too big (1 NEOx-R 3mm blue, for a 92-97<.....now that I look back in the thread)....also any one have issues with the HVAC bulbs?, does the whole thing pull out?, or do you grab/crush the bulb with needlenose to get it out?....

not sure on this one. i put a blue led in that location and didnt work so i put the origanl back on. as soon as the as i get my new overlay from 6LE and my other leds i will try to figure this out. for now ima enjoy what i have installed. there may be a write up on this from what ive been searching.
Ok.. so i just read all of these posts and i cant pin point wat i need to buy... lol... my gauges are just goin out on me.. the bulbs are goin bad so im goin to upgrade to LEDS... I want blue LEDS but i need to know exactly what i need to buy and where at?? I just want the Gauges and the HVAC... im a M6 so dont need that one and i dont want the doors.. just gauges and HVAC.. can someone help me out
You HAVE to get rid of the stock overlay and go with something else, i.e. 6LE stuff. The stock overlay has a red film which makes the light sine through red, the bulbs are not red. Now with the 6LE overlays i went with all red LED's, a blue one for the high beam and 2 green ones for the turn signals. I'll get some pics up soon, only thing i did with my 6LE overlay was trim it around the edges to keep it from bunching up.

2 74-xHP3 Wedge Base LED bulb for the HVAC and 5-7 WLED-x5 LED Wide Angle LED in your choice of color..and if you do the head light switch you need 1 3mm NeoWedge Instrument led and you can get these at super bright leds .com....
Ok well now that i know what to get for my car i have noticed that yall are talking about the stock gauge cluster has a film on it... how do you know if it is stock... i have the ***** gauge cluster now but i bought my car used like that... my car is a 2000 camaro z28 and i have a buddy who's is black and its an 01 or 02... is his aftermarket or is mine?
