you have to buy new sockets for the leds

Where can I get those sockets?

it is possible to use the old sockets. someone wrote about it somewhere in one of these led threads. might have been on gmfullsize.com

I got mine at www.SuperBrightLEDs.com but they werent a perfect fit, i had to play around wit them and solder on some extensions, and once and a while they ll come loose, im debating about changing it up but not sure what yet

Seems like it'll be easier to just solder the LED's into the stock sockets.

I just did this mod today. I use the white 194 90 degree LED's with new sockets and I am very pleased. The lighting is bright and there are zero dim spots. I noticed that there are 3 or 4 other lights at the top of the gauge cluster that are for turn signals, check engine light, etc... What type of bulbs are those? I would like to change those to LED Green for the turn signals and LED orange for the check engine light, ABS, etc...

was it easy to swap bulbs? i understand peoples pics on how to remove the whole gauge bezel, but do you have to take it apart alot to get to the bulbs? like remove the needles and face of the gauge?

Yes it was very easy to swap bulbs. - I mean that if you buy new sockets for the LED bulbs because using the stock ones takes A LOT more time because the way the stock halogen bulbs are placed in the sockets.

You do not have to take it apart a lot. Just remove the black plastic panel at the back of the gauge cluster and you can twist the bulbs out. boom. done.

Literally took me 5 minutes.

I have the WHITE LED's and they look like a very light baby blue just like this picture. They won't look pure white for some reason. I think the stock bezel has something to do with it.

Here is mine: (Excuse the iPhone Pic)
