Thanks for the pics! That's exactly what I would like to do with mine so I'm happy to see the Red DIC looks as good as I thought it would. I might do the numbers white or orange though, still can't decide. If anyone gets dug into the center console like the heater dials, radio controls and radio display post up some pics I would love to see those changed.

JDrake1987 changed his to orange, and it looks pretty good. I should mention that I didnt use right-angle LEDs for the DIC. I didnt have any (and was feeling a bit cowboyish) so I used the same type of PLCC-2s that I used for the rings. Right angle LEDs might make it a bit brighter. In fact I still havent been able to find any surface-mount right-angle LEDs like the ones for the DIC at all :( so if you know where I can find some, please let me know. I am ordering some more LEDs today to start getting on some of the switches. I want to start on the radio, too, but haven't found a listing of the LEDs I'd need. Oh well, guess I'll just need to take it apart a couple of times. That makes me nervous, though...

If anyone is willing to ship their items to me I can do the swaps for you, and I can have them shipped back the next day in most cases...
I'm the one that's been helping anglwings with her swaps, and we both looked everywhere and could not find the proper right angle leds, I spent over an hour on the phone with multiple companys trying to figure it out, so instead we just cane up with the idea of turning the plcc2s on their sides and it worked perfect... Correct me if I'm wrong, but we may have been the first ones to do the swaps on a Camaro, for sure this is the only write I have come across... Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk |

Trust me.. You can do this. Taking apart the gauge takes less than ten minutes. The hardest part for me, is the step that separates the needles and removes the circuit board. The guide makes it look way hard, b/c of all the steps involved. If I can do this, seriously ...

You can usually use 2 spoons to pry the needles up...

Here's Lightner75's. First pic is with the key in and it also shows the newly changed LEDs in the steering wheel, and the second picture is with the ignition turned to on.
