The bulb size is 194. And with stock gauges as well as the McNord gauges (ones shown) you can use blue LEDs... The bulb he used is the only one that has that look on that site... The ones he used are actually the very top one on this link.

Just like red LEDs in a stock Camaro overlay.
The factory crap bulbs are yellow which is why Camaros look green and Trans-Am look red/orange from the factory.
All cheap overlays, that are basically just vinyl stickers (MacEwen, ebays, etc...) go on top of the factory so you will still have tinted overlays.
You need a full replacement to change the color properly. Other than McNord's (which is what I sell) I don't know of any other full replacement overlays...

Nope you can't. The person who asked the question has a Trans-Am and stock Trans-Am gauges have a red tint (Camaros have a blue) so the blue LED will look purple.

I didnt see that he was a TA owner.. But on Camaros they can have red LEDS and them still look red.. Before I got your gauges I just have red LEDs in there and they looked just as red as the rest of the interior.. But the TAs red film is ALOT harder to get different colored lights to shine through..

Thanks for the writeup and helpful info ! Your car looks great.
I just ordered up some blue LED bulbs for my 6LE/McNord gauges/overlays install, and if it looks half as good as some of the others (which I know it will) I'll be stoked.
