Are LED replacements available for the interior of my 96 SS? I am going to start removing the interior soon and was thinking it would be nice to brighten up some of the interior lights with new LED's

I'm thinking more of in the behind the gauge cluster and also the other lights, where did you get them from. Is there a site with the part numbers needed?

Just finished doing a complete interior swap (see attached image -- sorry for blurriness). I used white LED that, with the bluish film on our cluster, end up bluish.

I researched everything on my own. It took a few hours to sift through all of the threads, but the combination I chose was the most recommended. Everything worked out perfectly. Costs far less to buy everything interdependently. I have been talking with 1Fast in PMs, but for anyone else interested, the following is what you will need for '93-'96 interiors ('97 on only need 5 WLED-x5 LED Wide Angle LED bulbs from what I understand). I just copied it from my invoice, so the information reflects white bulbs obviously:

1 NEOx-W (Dimmer/Headlight)
2 74-W (HVAC)
3 74-WHP (Doors and shifter)
7 WLED-CW5 (Instruments)
2 WLED-CWLX (Glove box/Center console)


1 NeoWedge Instrument LED bulb $ 1.29 $ 0.00 White NEOx-W
3mm NEO3-x
$ 1.29
2 74-x Wedge Base LED bulb $ 1.19 $ 0.00 White 74-W
$ 2.38
3 74-xHP Wedge Base LED Bulb $ 2.49 $ 0.00 White 74-WHP
$ 7.47
7 WLED-x5 LED Wide Angle LED bulb $ 2.99 $ 0.00 Cool White WLED-CW5
$ 27.58
2 WLED-xLX 1Watt LED Wedge Base bulb $ 9.95 $ 0.00 Cool White WLED-CWLX
$ 19.90

Subtotal: $ 58.62
Shipping: $ 5.00 (estimated)
Grand Total: $ 63.62

NOTE: The two high-power "WLED-xLX" (for the glove box and center console) bulbs were a test of my own. Now I feel they were probably too expensive for how it turned out. They don't seem as bright as a I thought they'd be. Oh well. Also, the led board for the dome light and map lights are not on the above list. I already had those laying around. However, they can also be found on SuperBrightLEDs. The rear-view mirror will have to be disassembled for most installations. I also hear LEDs don't like the theater dimmer effect, and may die prematurely. Just something to keep in mind. Last thing to remember, the LEDs for the instrument panel will have to be modified a bit. You'll notice when removing the existing bulbs that the contacts are on the sides. You'll have to bend the wires on the new LEDs to touch. Not sure whether I have explained that clearly. Let me know if you need more info.

EDIT: Also forgot to mention, as I have not yet done it, but you can also install LEDs in the fog, asr, and defroster. If you are as anal as I am, it'll bug you that the color is off.

Hope that saves others more time.

They have ALOT of stuff, but I've heard some bad things about them, but also some good things. The guy is local, so I mite take the $2.49 risk (for chrome bulbs).
