Default Led gauges

Hey I have a 2000 z28 , my gauge lights are really dull, I want to get LED's. Would it be hard to do? Or just plug them in and go? Also, I want to do the light down in the heater area, and where I turn mt headlights on and off. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Just like powder puff said , nothing to it...most likely your old bulbs have are dim and dusty...hardest part is getting the speedo cluster out around your steering wheel, I highly suggest dropping your steering column down a few inches (unbolt brackets holding to dash) if not you get to play Houdini and chance scratching the clear speedo lens too.

Mine came out too easy. You remove the clear speedo cover first then the back section comes right out. Use a screwdriver to pop the release tabs on top and pull. Also unscrew the tilt bar and remove rear cover for a bit more room.
