With a Trans Am its not as easy as just replacing the lights behind the stock gauges. There is a red film on the back of the gauge overlay that will always make the light appear red. It is possible to remove the red film with lots of patience, time and a little acetone. Once the film is removed you can replace the stock bulbs with what ever color 194 LED you want. I would not recommend using regular LEDs because they will cause hot spots and look like ****. Instead order some new bulbs from http://www.ledgauges.com/ they know which leds work best.

Hope this helps
