What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Sam Harris]

I made the leap.. after replacing the cluster with blue LEDs, and finding 3 bulbs in the climate control out, decided to swap the dash bulbs to blue LEDs as well. What a PITA. 3 of the bulbs were reversed polarity from what they were supposed to be, so took me a while to figure that out. Just started on the steering wheel controls. I’m not sure how in the hell you’re supposed to get those out without breaking the tabs! [emoji2959][emoji35] Also changed up the headlight switch bulb install a bit. The kit has you just solder the bulb onto the board, and it’s not very bright because it’s so far away from the light pipe. So I rigged it onto the old piece [emoji106][emoji16]

Good work, Sam. Where'd you buy your LEDs?

I like the blue, matches my cluster. But.....what about your fog light button?

I didn’t dig the panel out of that part. I couldn’t see a bulb on that side. Looks like I’ll need to redo that one. Lol I couldn’t see a bulb. Does that one light up?

Got them from https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e110...bay.com/ulk/usr/gm-gauge-repair&sojTags=bu=bu on eBay. Arm and a leg for what they are, but oh well.

Ok. I have no idea how in the holy hell you get the steering wheel buttons reattached to those plugs!

Hmm...now that you mention it--I'm really not sure.

Did you pull the airbag? That should give you enough slack to do it

My fog light button lights up, not sure what bulb you need someone else did mine

Thanks for both of these points.. I was thinking of pulling the airbag, but wasn’t sure. I’ll give that a shot. [emoji106][emoji16]
