Its pretty hard to change the bulbs on the wheel controls. I have an aftermarket stereo system so my controls didnt work. I used the wires to make my own logos in the space. It came out pretty good. I did the bird but you could put the bowtie in there or whatever you think would look good. You can check out how it looks on my webshots page in my sig.

I'm confused because in this sentence you are saying they just plug right in to the factory ones. So can we just buy single wide band LED's from that site and be done with it or do we have to buy the bulbs and then the sockets from autozone?

NO NO NO, on 97 and up Camaros you will not need new sockets, You will either need new sockets or send me yours so I can solder them in on all LT1's EXCEPT 97's!!

I will be working on that next, I just finished the hvac and it looks much better with all the colors showing. I also added a blue LED for each ****. It looks real good. I also changed the light switch to an hvac switch so it can light up as well. I have it wired in to the ignition so when you start your car at night the switch for the lights is lit, no more feeling around for your light switch.

HVAC is just 2 bulbs, the headlight switch you have to custom install because the light is too small to get any size LED to fit.. PM me!!

I installed led's from NSperformance last week, i did the HVAC and Headlight Switch Panel. The cluster was cake, the hvac was relatively easy but took a lot of time because I had to cut the stock harness and wire it up all nice and solder the led's then secure them nicely. The headlight switch panel on the left side of the dash I had to insert a led and solder the leads directly to the contacts on the unit.
This pic is of the finished headlights witch assembly with led installed.
This is the whole headlight switch assembly disassembled. The led laying there is replacing the small round unit to the right of it that has a tiny bulb in it. It screws onto the top right of the rightmost object in the pic. I soldered the led directly to those contacts.
It really makes a good difference, i ended up going to radio shack and buying a small butane soldering iron so i didnt have to deal with a cord, and one of the little helpers that has a magnifying glass and gator clips to hold things with for soldering these tiny leads. It was well worth it, I have no soldering skills what soever but I bought the right tools and took my time and I did it all in a day.
