My Camaro's New Odometer 
Just did it tonight, the black & white looks SOOO much better than the shitty red and blends in perfectly with my other stuff.
I took many many pics of doing it so if people want a writeup I'll work on it
Note that this is different than the way you have to do it in a TA as far as I can tell from the Appearance Hall of Fame.

Thats a universal mod. I can use that on my vette.

It might be tinted slightly blue because the LED I used is 40,000mcd white, and those always seem to have a really slight blue tint. But mostly in person it looks black/white.
I'll try to get a writeup as soon as I can for the rest of you guys

98's do have a different cluster but I don't see how the procedure would change. And the write up was done in a Camaro, but the Firebird's odometer is the exact same procedure.
