the cluster gauges aren't lit by individual bulbs so you can't light them up with LEDs.

It's 2 UV tubes... And they are pretty good looking already.. I don't think LEDs will look any better.

With all the LED conversion threads posted here, I don't recall anyone changing out the lights in the instrument panel. But check out the gauge bezel instructions posted up on www.vetteesstentials.com web site. It will show you how to access the lights.

To get Blue you'll have to buy SpeedHut EL Faceplates, JW Motoring has the only offering and a great deal versus buying directly from SpeedHut. There are alot of options built in or you can do totally custom faceplates...
