Got mine off ebay.

This one is similar to the one I have. You can search ebay for different styles.

Having 2 different blues looked terrible and the red perfectly matches the dash. Actually I like it better this way anyway.

So there is no where to currently source an aqua led for this project that matches the stock abl's?

Funny you should ask this question. I just started dating a woman who has a Eqiunox and while riding with her the other night, I noticed the car had cupholder lights like we've been installing and yes, they were the ABL blue. I was surprised! Now I'm at the point of contacting my dealer to see if I can get those lights or if they get a wreck in, to see about pulling them for me. It looks really cool!

I may have found a way to do the ABL color for the cup holder. I am going to try it this weekend and post if it comes of successfully.

Bumb, cuz I would like to know if you found anything. I want to be 100% on my color choice. Nothing sucks more than being color blind and getting told later "Hay man, that aqua blue is actually green." (true story)

I spent a good two weeks doing lighting mods including the dash ABL and cupholder with blue LEDs and invited the wifey to check it and her first remark is that they were the wrong color!

I went back to GM Parts House and got the LEDs from them that were the exact color. Lots more money, but highly recommended. Look for the ABL LEDs. I took them apart to fit wherever I needed em.

Check the ABL thread for part numbers:

where can i get these leds?

Ein17 · 02-10-2012, 10:09 PM

curious if anyone has or would know a cheap and easy way to install a pressure switch type of deal in the bottom of the cup holders so that it will only light up when you set something in it? Also anyone know of a lighting option for around the 4 pack cluster that wont have a bad glare or be too bright it over shadows the gauges?
