Camaro guys and anyone else who needs to look up a bulb part number here is the website:

Don't trust that site too much, I bought some LEDs for my reverse lights, but they list the wrong bulbs!

I looked at the back dome light and it is a festoon dome with the metal wire on the end. I see what you were saying about bending the prongs to get it to fit though, so that shouldnt be a problem.
Yes, those are the 194 bulbs. According to https://ls1tech.com/forums/showpost....80&postcount=2, 02 got the revised mirror (I do), but I guess some of the 01s also got it.

What lights did you have to change to leds for the cluster? I want to put a white face guage in, and also change the lights to red leds.

The bulbs are 194's, the same for your map lights and glove box. I would go with at least 6 LEDS. The bulbs I put in contained 4 LEDS and it was definately not bright enough.
You will need to order 5 bulbs. Here is a pic that shows which ones to replace:

I've got a 2000 T/A and it uses the 4410 Festoons for both the dome and map lights. Superbrihtleds.com has them for half the price of the Velocity LEDs place. I'm thinking of picking up a set of red ones. Someone else here had a picture of all red lighting inside his bird, it looked pretty sweet.

I ordered several different 194s to test in my map lights, since 194 is a common bulb anyway. I ordered all of my bulbs from Velocity LED. I'm still awaiting their arrival. I'll let ya'll know how bright they are and which bulbs worked best once I get them in.

They're all white to match my new HIDs. I just ordered a couple different LED set ups. Going to try the inverted cone and the 6 super LED bulbs. I figure if one doesn't fit or isn't bright enough, at least I have an immediate plan to fall back on.

Do I have to get some sort of "clip" for the leds to hold into the cluster?

The site says those High Power LEDs are almost as bright as the wled-x6 lights. I would get the wled-x6 lights.

And for anyone wondering if they should put the wled-x5 bulbs into the mirror, my suggestion is NO. They produce maybe 75% of the light as the wled-x6 leds do.

No. Use a pair of pliers and twist out the "holders". Pull out the stock bulbs and put the in 194's. Twist the "holders" back in with pliers and you are done. Keep in mind that if they dont' light up to pull out the bulbs and turn them 180 degrees.
