I did this in my 2006 GTO. Changed the LED's from green to blue. I did some of it, and Chris White did the rest of this for me. I don't know if he's doing Camaro stuff or not. You can find him here http://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/. If you are going to do this yourself, you need a controlled output solder station, tweezers, fine gauge solder, a magnafier helps too. Oh, and the solering skills necessary to do the job! You should be able to find the LED's from DigiKey or Mouser.

after changing the dome light and the foot well to match the blues are different colors. As I mentioned earlier I may not do it, but now I think I might, because I have been unable to find "ICE BLUE" LED's to place in the foot well or in the dome.

Has anyone done this? Are all the LEDs the same color? I know in the four pack they are blue and amber, so I'm wondering if this is the case with these gauges as well. I haven't been able to find any other threads where someone mentioned doing this mod other than this thread.

How difficult is it getting to the circuit board? Anyone got step by step photos?

Has anyone learned anymore about the type of factory dash LEDs that GM is using? Do they have 2, 3 or 4 connections? Are they able to change colors with an added controller? Is anyone in the aftermarket biz looking at dash mods involving the LED colors? Thanks

I did a DIY on changing the LEDs, but this only works if you're wanting to make a one time change. It's not something that you can use a controller and constantly switch colors, if that's what you're wanting.
