Default DIC LED questions

Hey folks I'm bout to do a hud swap so with the dash comming out. I figured now would be a good time to do the led's in the dic mod. What I was wanting to know are there any leds that just plug in? I don't feel like sodering stuff I'm not very good at it

I think JWmotoring, a forum sponsor, will rebuild your buttons. There are kits sold on fleeBay, and i have been wanting to try them, blue, but I haven't done it yet.

Here is the link to the "LED Mod" thread, http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...od-thread.html. This contains all the information you need to know about converting to LED's.

The Dimmer/HUD and DIC buttons take a smaller Type 74 Wedge base, some companies call it a Type A. This is every bulb in the interior. The last two are the Dimmer/HUD and DIC respectively;
