Yes 10 would be enough.

Start with taking off the panel under the dash, then the dash panel that goes around the gauges, which is much easier to take off when the whole dash panel is taken out (gives you more light and room to take out screws underneath it), along with the panel around the radio and the plastic strip that runs along the thing above your head, where the window meets the roof (be careful not to break the prongs that hold this on). After these are off, you can take the gauge cluster out and it's pretty self explanatory from there.

Give yourself a good half hour and take your time so you don't break anything. Keep track of all the screws you take out and be sure to put em all back in or you'll get rattles like me

 

is it 10 bulbs to replace just the ambient backlighting? i only counted 7 on your diagram, am i missing something?

i want to just change the backlighting, but leave the indicator stuff and dummy lights the stock color. basically i want to make it look like reverse indeglow with the speedo and tach and such glowing blue. which bulbs do i replace to do that?

 

i did mine with 7 didnt take to long at all. took longer cuz i put the leds in backwards. they look a little somthing like z28_melisssa's i did my HVAC when it wuz apart 2

 

how do u do the hvac and headlamp switchs can u use the same bulbs as the dash i have about 6 extra

 

It takes 7 bulbs. I did mine in red. I would also like to know what you did to change over the HVAC bulbs to a different color. Thanks.

 

i still have yet to do the headlight swtich but u need leds for the hvacs u cant use the 194 bulbs

 

My friend put blue LEDs in his ASR and i think it was his foglight button? (next to the ASR switch) in his SS and it look awesome

 

Yep I know. How did you hook up the LEDs? And which ones did you buy. THanks.

 

Wow, isn't the SEARCH function a wonderful thing?!

I've been wanting to change my dash lights for a while now (either to blue or red........I'm still undecided!) and this thread helps out SO MUCH!! That diagram is awesome!

Again, I'm torn between blue dash lights, or red. Maybe I should just try both?! I know that a lot of guys hate the red backlighting in Pontiacs (including T/A's, etc.) but I had a Sunfire before my Camaro, and I liked the red backlighting. Maybe that's what I'll do!

 

would this work for the firebird cluster?

 

the actual lens on the firebird cluster is a red color unlike the camaros, but im altmost certain nu-image makes a clear replacement

 

nu image? wo you have a website? thanks

 

if anybody did theirs in red id love to see how it looks!

 

Glad the diagram is being used...

I think red would look great, plus it would match the rest of the car (in most cases).

 

so.......whats the part number of which bulbs to buy?
