LED gauge lights help!!!!
I have a 2001 z28 and I'm wanting to swap the stock lights for some white led gauge cluster lights. The website that everyone says they got them at all say discontinued now (super bright......com). Where can get these LEDs at a good price and good quality. Thanks

Agreed with the 2nd poster. The blue really doesn't look bad though...anything lookgs better than that OE "dirty green". You'd have to really strip down the cluster and get all the blue "filter" off the gauge face. Doable, but not fun. Also, you will lose your ability to dim the lights. They do, but in a very narrow range. If stock goes from 0% (black) to 100% (bright), I'd say these are like 95% to 100%. They are way too bright at night for me - but I don't like having my dash lights cranked up, even with incandescents. I am working on a solution to that.
This is the stock cluster, cleared of the blue filter, and running the superbrightLEDs cool white bulb-replacement LEDs with some additional peripheral LEDs installed around the perimeter to allow for even lighting. This was me bench testing it in the house before reinstalling.

There are no numbers for the bulbs in the wheel controls...those are small bulbs that are soldered to the circuit board. I ended up using a few NEO-3's from Superbrightleds that I had to make fit...and then they were too bright, so I had to put in a filter to cut the intensity down to match the rest of the dash.

I used my dremel and a 400grit sanding bit and sanded the red film off my trans am dash cluster. You cant do this with the HVAC/Headlight dimmer overlay as the overlay has the words printed on the back and no the front.
Ive got blues to mach my cobalt gauges.
Here is a crappy cell phone pic after I plugged it in the first time.
