    I have a 2000 Grand Prix gt and I am looking to change the guage lights to something nicer. I have found these LED Light Upgrade for Factory Speedometer and Gauge Cluster - GPLIGHTING - PFYC.com
    They say they you just plug them in but I am not sure. Has anybody tried these?

    Haven't tried those particular ones, but the bulbs behind the gauge cluster are just twist out and twist in #194's and #74's. But there is a red film between the gauge cover and bulbs that produce the factory red. If you're trying to change the color, you will need to remove that film. If that's the case, its way easier to just get a gauge overlay. If you're wanting to keep the factory color and just brighten it up, I would get some 194's and 74's from superbrightleds.com. They will be much cheaper than 60 bucks.

    I had that black one. Like he said, there were so many white ones but finding the black one is difficult. One will eventually pop up on Ebay, just keep browsing the Web and your bound to find one eventually
