Default LED Gauge cluster.

I was wondering if anyone has swapped the gauge cluster lights to LED. I have done it to my camaro and my silverado. I had to solder with the silverao. The camaro was plug and play. How is it done on a 02 Z06? I have not seen my car yet so im trying to buy everything I need before I get to it. Thanks.

You cant do it lol, There is no lights behind the cluster or wires... Everything is illuminated by 2 tube bulbs that are basically black lights, one on the left side and the other on the right... If you turn you gauge cluster lights on and look real close on the sides you will see them....

My silverado was the same way. I just ordered the LEDs and some resistors. I soldered them in. It kinda sucked cuz I had no way to tell if the polarity was right. If it didn't work I just swapped it. Only thing is there was 8 that light up the panel.
