Talking HVAC LED modding pics

Check out my new glowing *****. I just peeled the rubber boots off the stock *****, and presto - the magic works itself. What do you guys think? I like it, and it looks even better in person.

I kinda like it, but what does it look like in daylight with the lights off?

They look okay. They are clear, but they don't stand out too bad. The blue LED look makes the interior a very custom touch when the sun goes down. I get people peering into my car all the time.

Here is the write-up for the radio:

Yes, the steering wheel controls can be done as well as the foglight switch, and various other lights as well.

I dunno Im kind of partial on this one. It sort of reminds me of the same people who buy and install light up shift ***** and pedals. It is kinda neat though

Looks bad *** if you ask me. I may do the same thing to mine but in red, red and black are my car colors. As for the glowing shift *** comment, the only reason you don't like it is cause ricers are known for it. If an F-Body guy would have been the first to do it you would probably think it's cool. That's not a slam, it's the same way I feel but I am slowly getting over it.

On a side note, will the rubber boots come off of the radio tuner and volume **** as well? That would be the ****

Yep.. All you do is take a heat gun and heat them up for a while to get the glue unstuck.. Then just start peelin.. In a Camaro, I have never seen in done in a T/A so I have no idea if it looks the same.. But a way to check is to pull them off and look under then.. They will either be that yellowish white people are talkin about or they will be clear..
