Thread: blue interior led (pics)

Yeah, GM loves to tint the overlays to get the right color. They used yellowish bulbs behind a blue overlay to achieve the Impala/Monte factory colors.

If you took white LEDs/bulbs and stuck them behind the factory cluster it would glow blue. Even though I have a new overlay, I still have white LEDs behind it and it still glows blue. The red warning areas and red needles look GREAT that way.

that is freakin sweet, thats what I want the whole dash and buttons on my car to look like. So I just need to replace all the factory leds with white ones and I'll get that same effect?

What would I have to do to change the needles to glow like white or some other color

According to archemedes your factory overlay is tinted reddish/orange so you need a new overlay that will allow for these colors.

Find new needles.

Here's mine:

(yes, I've taken care of the cruise buttons, just haven't taken a new pic)

that is awesome looking, so you got a new gauge overlay and then changed the bulbs? what kind of overlay color or specs or whatever should I be looking for so that I can have it look like that?.

The overlay was swapped and white LEDs put in behind. I'm not sure the details on the overlay since (like I said previously) my HVAC and gauge cluster were done by BBE due to their delicate nature. I did the rest.

Where did you order your led's from, you said yours took a while, what are some other sites I could order from too?

And does BBE have a site. I have been looking for a new guage cluster face too.
