There are different dummy light locations after 98...one of the few differences. I know because I bought a 99 overlay and it didn't really work.

I have a 98 as well and want to go to blue LED's if I go with these gauges can I put in blue LEDS behind them and be good to go or do I have to go another route?

Guys,

Ws6store is awaiting bezels as well.

I think they may have a few 99-02 Z28 kits on hand (with bezels). They are NOT interchangeable with 1997-98 models. The differences are subtle yet numerous... enough so that a new design is warranted.

Christmas really ate up most of them (bezels).

I don't like to promise anything until things are in my hand, or rather warehouse. I am expecting more bezel/lenses for 97-02 Camaros (or should I say Firebirds ) in 3 weeks, I was told, by the 8th of Feb from Delphi. This has bitten me before, so I cannot promise as yet.

WS6store wanted to stock some more 99-02's at least, but I was out of them.

Silver 97-98 150mph Camaro overlays are on hand. White is very low.

Bezels can be ordered from another vendor (non-sponsor but Delphi service house). However they are charging up to $45 just for lenses/bezels I have heard lately. But, they do stock them, and can be used in emergencies.

I have actually had them dropship FedEx lenses/bezels for me 2nd last Christmas just to keep my word on dates, when lenses ran out. That was pricey.

That was also the same period they shipped me cartons of Camaro lenses, tagged with Firebird part number. So definitely someone asleep at wheel or disgruntled at Delphi. Wasn't even my vendors fault. It is just how it 'can go' when dealing with such a large corporation (or a small one, )


As far as using blue LED's. Nothing which is tinted in red, via factory or by my overlay will illuminate with a blue LED. This is because blue LED's do not produce ANY red light (ok, maybe 10^(-19cp)). At any rate, your redline, wont be very visible when illuminated in a dark area. People still like the completeness of having blue LED's on every component, blue tooth, head unit etc.; so, I suggest you look at a car like yours with blue led's, before deciding.

-Ryan

Stock Fire Bird overlays contain a red tint on the back, which gives the illumination of a red/pale orange color. Unlike the Camaros, you cannot change the bulb for a different illumination. If you want to use LEDS, purchase Red LEDS for a "red blood" illumination.
