Thumbs up interior light color Presto Change-o

I'm sure it's been asked before, But I didn't find it in the FAQ and other stickies,
I apologize if this is tired and old, search has never loved me.

Anyway, So I have come to hate the interior of my camaro at night time, the lights are so damn ugly to me coming from a bmw....I most hate the speedo whiteness, but Am almost set on waiting to afford 200mph granatellis. The steering wheel controls I think are easy ? what about the climate control backlights???

My theme is kinda red on black(leather), and my headunit glows red/blue along with my radar and shift light/alarm led so I was thinking red or blue conversion.

It'd be nice if you could tell me what bulbs I need etc. and perhaps bust out some pics.
Can you even see the needles on the tach etc. when you change the bulb?


THANKS!!!!!

There was a thread recently in this section about using drop-in replacement LEDs for the cluster. You can put whatever color you want in then. I'm thinking if I burn a bulb out I'll go with a green theme (to match my car).

Also, 6litereater sells overlays too, good quality from what I hear. Not sure on the price difference compared to granatellis but worth checking out!

Here a couple pics of my car (UV LED) and my Mom's (green LED). Funny...when she first saw them when I was finished, she actually said "They look BOSS!"













Yes, she has a green Camaro.

Well, I try to be unique/original. It's nice to see that I haven't seen another camaro that looks anything like mine anywhere around town.

how did you hook up the lights under the dash area where your feet go? i always wanted to do that since theres not enough light down there.

I just used the 3M tape the strips come with and mount 'em just underneath the dash in a way that they wouldn't be kicked off. And then I have a 12" strip just under the front seats pointed forward. Then I tapped into the rear dome light so that they would go on and off as if they were stock.
