I know everybody is going crazy over the blue led's for the dash, however i am wondering if anybody has tried to put the red led's and if that happend how does it look. If you have pics please post.

This has to be the number one question twice a month now

Red will not show up because of the green filter inside the cluster.

Damn it. That sucks. Oh well blue its cool also. Better then green. Thanks for the answer, in such a short notice.

As soon as I can get a camera, I'll get some pics.

I will be selling my LEDs soon...w/HVAC and w/redline, so if you missed the group buy, PM me.

He found a way to do it I guess.

When I had my old S-10, it had a green filter on it too. I scrapped the material back in sections and the light made it thru but it was sort of ghetto looking. I'd LOVe to have red over blue simply because everyone and their momma has blue dash, even before the SRT. I can't wait to see his pics/thread!!!

Interesting. May i ask what kind of led's do i need for the gauge and hvac dash? I have found some led's on ebay for not that bad of price. This way i can decide if i want to wait on the 3-4 weeks or sooner and cheaper.

This is the same way I feel, but opposite. LOL

I had a DSM for some years, and before that a GrandAm GT.
