Nice !!!!


I want blue.... but the red dash kills me !!

I think blue would kill your eyes at night, unless you got like a cobalt blue, or something similar to your flames. That would actually look pretty good. I'd love to see a full interior led conversion to blue!

Must.. resist.. buying.. leds. Looks great man now you got me wanting it

They look better in person and at night, the whole interior now has a nice evil red glow.

I did have to modify the sockets for the foot area, just trimmed a bit of plastic to let the new bulbs fit. I also removed the protective metal covers from all the lights since the LEDs make much less heat and also I wanted all of the light to come through.

The lights were purchased from Super Bright LEDs (same place I got the strip lighting for the doors/trunk). You can replace all of your lights for $12 + shipping. :P

Yeah its just the dash that can't be done... :mad: So that makes it almost pointless to do

If GM can make it, you can un-make it an re-make it. . . . . If that makes sense. . . . .

You might just need to try it a couple times before you get it right. :thumbup2

hmmmmmmm If I remember correctly its been tried and the end result was &^%$ its not red bulbs in the cluster its a red film on the panel :thumbup2

And the GXP panels are not cheap.

Now If I could find a company to make me a panel i might consider a second cluster :D

Because the engine isn't running, I just turned the ignition on to get some lights.

Also while examining that picture, I noticed I'm almost out of gas! Damn...

I've seen a GP interior converted to blue so it can be done. Just a lot of work. You could remove the red film and replace with blue maybe?
