X2... No "hotspots" with the xHP6's. The lighting is flawless.

Do you know what bulbs are in the door handles (interior) so that I can change those to blue as well.

Not sure if there the same in the t/a since I have a camaro. But in the doors I used WLED-xhp-x LED bulb, the WLED-x- LED bulb is just a regular led.

So from what I am reading you can not change the color of Trans AM gauges because there is a red film behind the cluster? and I am guessing it is the same for the Monsoon radio in the Trans Am's?

You've got a Trans Am. Our bezel just pops out. I think it's 5 push pins total.

Grab an edge, and start pulling straight towards you (in driver's seat). Don't yank, or pull sideways. Straight away from dash.

I don't know if this would be the best thread to ask in.....would it look bad if the guage cluster had a different color vs the radio/hvac? As in if the cluster was white while the radio/hvac were still pontiac orange?

I want to change my needles. I took them off the old cluster Camaro and now I want to swap them with the new cluster TA. Any write up on this? I dont want to put them on and my speedo starts at 25mph? I am sure when I pull them off that the needle will move some. I am thinking its just as important as changing a timing chain the old school way but with no marks.... or am I over thinking this whole thing?
