VERY simple to do... if I had pictures still I'd post up, but it's real easy, with nice results.

I doubt that will work. Unless the GP is very different from the Impala in that respect. All of the bulbs in the dash and switches are soldered in. There are no wedge bulbs or any really end-user serviceable bulbs at all. That's why this is a popular mod because if the factory bulbs burn out you have to solder anyway.

how many leds do you think I would need to do the dash, all the door switches, and the hvac area

That's what I was referring to when I said "bulbs in the dash" meaning the gauge cluster and the HVAC.

Two to be exact... I never looked at the door switches or anything. Sorry if I caused some confusion. Autolumination.com DOES sell some really cheap pre-resisted LED's as well though.

The factory 00-05 Impala/Monte radio, gauges, and HVAC controls use thin wheat style incandescent bulbs soldered to the PCB.
