OK, I just got done installing my MacEwen overlays in my SS about 10 min ago. I used the new Blue 4 bulb LED's the he has listed on his website. These are the way to go if you want to change the color of your gauges. Don't even waste your time or money on the other bulbs or single LED's.

When you remove the bulb holder for the first time it will be very tight and might even require pliers to get them to turn. Make note that a LED has a Cathode (+) and an Anode(-) so polarity (+-) matters unlike a standard bulb. This means that if it fails to light, remove it and rotate 180 degrees (flip it), and pop it back in.
Just be sure to swap the right bulbs as there are several bulbs and holders on the back of the gauges. Some of which you do not what to switch. (i.e. turn signal indicators, high beam indicator, light for odometer)
With that warning you are now asking "How do I know which bulb to change?
" Answer, remove a bulb from the gauge cluster and shine a flashlight through the light socket where you removed the bulb from. Then look at the front of the gauge cluster to see what part of the gauges are lit up.
Good luck!
