Yep, done NUMEROUS times here. Expect about 40ish for cluster lights and about the same for the HVAC/Lighting control bulbs. Don't be afraid to get a HeadUnitMOUNT panel thats customized and can also display blue LEDs

Hey kraazymike, was wondering if you had a writeup on how you switched out the lights in the steering wheel, looking to do this to my TA, also does that instrument cluster have the same calibration even though it's meant for a camaro?
