yup you have a camaro, so get a blue LED.

) A blue LED wouldn't light them up, correct?EDIT: Just saw Kage's post. Looks like blue LEDs are the way to go!
EDIT x2: Also saw the sample pic on LEDgauges.com for the blue LEDs, and it confirmed my suspicion - the needles aren't lit! Which is it?

Needle kit is made by USspeedo for a 99-02 Chevy Tahoe......
Had to mod the orifice on the needles to fit and they are not as long as the OEM's, but look way better. IMPO......

get an aftermarket gauge face. they are usually a nice blue color. then with white LEDS you can still see everything.

Trans Am/Firebird - remove the cluster panel (much easier) and then the same 4 7mm screws holding the cluster in place (1 still at each corner) and then the EASY part...remove the cluster (easier than hell). Remove the same 5 bulbs and reinstall w/LEDs (again, careful w/polarity) and reinstall...
easy enough?
