Is it possible to change the color of the ABL without doing the EL wire mods? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I tried the search function, but I usually have about as much success with that as I do getting Selma Hayek to have Porno sex with me on the hood of my camaro...

So does the GM digikey come in any colors other than Ice Blue or Orange? All of my other lighting (footwells, dome light, etc) is darker Blue. Can you continue to use the factory ABL, but change the light color?

i was going to ask this question too.. from what ive heard its just one light and a light tube that gives that light on the doors. so i think its very possible to change it out but im not going to be the ginnea pig but im sure someone will be willing to give it a try

This would make for a good DIY in the future when you have the time after you finish up your other amazing projects!

Wait, I'm confused here because of all the Horrible grammar mulling around... Makes me so angry when people can't communicate properly!

So I have ABL on my yellow Camaro. I want to change the color in the doors to yellow instead of the timid blue. Do I have to rip apart the doors, or do I just change out that 5mm LED?!

Yes and Yes. You have to take the door panels off to get to the LED so that you can change it.

Sexy. Clear. Concise. Thank You!

Does anyone know a good place to purchase these LEDs?

chozn4service · 07-29-2012, 08:10 PM

I changed my ABL door panel lights from the factory ice blue to red. I got the leds from SmJ on this site. He's out of the greater Chicago area and sells LEDs, wiring harnesses and other lighting mods. Didn't look over what Ofer posted but I'm sure whatever he's suggested is 'golden'. I know I just pulled my OEM LEDs and replaced them with what he sent me and it was cut and dry.

MikeMoach · 07-29-2012, 08:21 PM

I've been wanting to do this also!!!! Who is SmJ nd where can i find him?

This is where I bought mine. I put a led on both ends of the light tube.
You can buy the leds with the resistor. Here is the link

or the ones with out the resistor but you will need to buy the right resistor
