Default Hvac / headlight panels

Ive searched alot of threads, but still cant find an def answer. On the Hvac and headlight panels I know there is a blue film. Can this be peeled off to get rid of the blue tint? Will the front of the panels still look stock or will it ruin the OEM overlay? thank you for the help.

You can't pull it off, I have tried.. You can sand the blue off the back but you have to be EXTREMELY careful to not sand off the black too.. I made that mistake.. My friends mustang you could sand the color off and it looked good so I tried it on the headlight switch and it doesnt work the same on Camaro/Firebirds..

Hmmm....so it seems I will be stuck with the blue film. It I cant find some spare parts to play with, guess Ill resort to blue LEDs.

You can buy just the hl and hvac overlays from 6LE, or you used to could...maybe in the future someone else will sell them, wishful thinking.

You remove your stock overlay and install theirs, so the color choice is up to you, red led, blue led, whatever you want it to be, I used red.

I switched to Firebird hvac and headlight displays for the red tint with red leds. I was going to go with 6LE parts, but I went a cheaper route.

I should have actually read 6LE description. Problem solved I guess. I went ahead and ordered the Gauge and Hvac/headlight overlays. Should see how this looks with UV LEDs.
