Has anyone done this on a firebird/ta ? I dont want to peel my ***** apart and then be stuck with ugly white/yellowish ones. although I'm not sure why the firebirds and camaros would have different *****.... it seems that the white/yellowish ***** were all on LT1 cars...

I just went to a junkyard to get some interior pieces I needed that were broken when my car got broken into, and it was an 98+ Firebird and the ***** had that solid color to them! I have not been able to find a damn 97+ Camaro to snag the HVAC out of! I've been to at least 20 junkyards around central florida and the only one I found wasn't being parted out because it had a rebuild title!

might look better if you just cut a slot of the rubber off the end of the know so that a narrow line of color shows through...or you could paint the ***** the color of your choice after you take the rubber off and use any kind of design you like as a template to let the light show through in some kind of cool desing.

Go to this link:

http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...7.4394&next=50

the #74 LEDs are a direct replacement - they are the 7th one down on the list. You can choose the color. Getting the factory bulb out is a trick, though. I shattered both bulb in the holders, and it was fun fishing the remains out.

They do, but your vision may become impaired at night.

Yes they do, but they also do not light up as well! They do look cool as **** and I'm looking for something to do with the 3 #74 Blacklight bulbs I ordered!

To get the stock bulbs out, I used the blue shop towels you can buy at discount, and a pair of needle nose plyers! Simply place one sheet of the shop towel of the bulb, grasp the bulb lightly with the plyers and gently pull out! I didn't shatter any bulbs!
