Hmmmm, I really like the ABL on the door handles, I have to look into that one.
Nice find though guys, but I still think there are going to be issues with space, unless you modify either then trim or dash. |

here is a picture of the left side dash panel from a 2010 Lacrosse removed and lit up.
But I think Teccboxx is right about the lack of room behind the Camaro trim. The tube is approx 8mm thick and encased in the trim, so I could not really measure it without breaking the trim. Last edited by R6P; 08-27-2009 at 06:50 PM. Reason: add description |

If it was, the easy fix would be tone down the brightness level. I remember it being discussed in meetings...............distracting wasn't the problem.

If i recall correctly it was that the dash ABL didn't pass the extreme heat tests.

changing the light color in the lacrosse should be easy. But I believe that its a bulb. I also dont thinK it will fit behind the dash. I know that 2ssrs has the caddy parts coming. I hope they are a small size tube.

Number 3 has said glare.safety issues wasn't the reason for no ABL on the dash as far as she as heard in the meetings while she was testing the cars... I believe Scott "Fbodfather" said it was a over-heat issue causing a melting or discoloration in the dash over long road trips with the test cars with ABL. It would be interesting to know the reason so it could be something to look out for for the DIY ABL happening in this thread.

Did you see how I had a freaking atomic meltdown when we were told no ABL in the dash?... found this one really quickly...post 51 http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...929#post220929 post 104 http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...068#post222068 or how we were going to have B-Pillars added after seeing all the pix of a true coupe concept? Holy hell, Batman...I got a nice little PM (from GM) telling me to REMOVE my post from Z28.com...Yeah.... I tell ya right now. NO. We, the mods, do not always agree. But, that's the best part about having US here..... Without US (all 15,500 of us) GM would NEVER get the feed back so easily as they do by reading our pages. Quote:

I might have a had a couple too many margaritas last night...hehehe I remembered getting miffed when we were told no ABL and it allllllll started coming back to me... Hope Number3 takes no offense. Wasn't meant that way. I just remembered one of the reasons being given and I said the same thing...."just have a dial to turn down the ABL for night driving OR...make it to where the light is turned off automatically when the vehice is put in drive or goes over 2 mph. There are easy fixes. I just want to add my ABL 2SSRS, let me know waht you come up with. I'm all ears, buddy. |
