How many are they? Are they just under the drivers side? So it is better to reach them from underneath. I need to check these on mine. thanks for the picks, I have been wondering where they were.

Yes, under driver side wiper cowling. You can reach and pull them out from the bottom without removing all that. The DIY post showed there to be 3 of them. Mine only had 2 and it's a 98.

Scooped 4 metal end links for $40 off eBay. I was not even searching for them but while looking through the Corvette ads I noticed a set of sway bars that still had the end links attached. They came off a C6 with 20k miles. I told him I did not need the sway bars I just wanted the links. He only lived 20 minutes away so I went over yesterday and picked them up.

Ok. I bought the leds for the door switches from www.oznium.com. They were like 2.75 each and are the neo-wedge style plug n play bulb. It took all of 10 minutes to do both doors, the traction control, and the fog/trunk light. The DIC/HUD leds were way smaller and the bulbs I bought didn't fit. I tried swapping the bulb housings, shaving the light down, etc. and nothing worked. For $25 I ordered a set of special neo wedge plug and play leds from West Coast Corvette. Fast shipping and these were so easy to do. They mark the polarity on each light and give you a diagram. It could not have been easier. The HVAC required a pro and that's exactly who I went to. While looking on ebay for HVAC led upgrade services I found an ad and the guy lived 30 minutes from me. That how I met fellow forum member Dave, or aerovette99. He runs www.C5led.com and I know some of you have used him. I dropped off my HVAC sat evening and it was ready by Sun afternoon. This unit required actual soldering and that's why I preferred to leave it with Dave. He's very knowledgeable and stands behind his work. I HIGHLY recommend him. Professional and all around good guy. The gauge bezel rings came from Corvette Mods. They're supposed to come in a set of 6. I only got 5 of them. I took my dash/cluster apart to do this mod and now cant put it back together b/c I'm missing a trim ring. I don't want to put it together only to undo it all again in a few days. But I also can't drive my car b/c of this snafu. I went back and forth with them. I was basically called a liar. I told them this was NOT my fault and wanted the missing part overnighted to me so I could put my cluster/car back together b/c I couldn't drive it. They held my part hostage and forced me to leave positive feedback on eBay before mailing it. They refused to overnight it. After reluctantly leaving positive feedback (only to get my part) it was sent snail mail and I got it several days later. Yes, they finally sent me the part but only after forcing my feedback and causing my car to be down for a week undriveable. They did nothing to go above and beyond to correct a mistake that was theirs, not mine. They did finally mail it out thought, only after the feedback issue, some arguing, and insulting me. I have bought lots from them and never had an issue. I see how they treat customers now and while they have decent prices and products, ill be spending my money elsewhere...even if it costs me a few dollars more. That's why I bought the leds for the DIC/HUD from West Coast Corvette instead. All in all I love how it turned out. If you're on the fence DO IT. Makes a big difference in the appearance. I sold my oem radio and ordered a single din clarion that changes colors so the red will match. My door/rear speakers and sub were also ordered last night. The mod train keeps rollin!

Installed new white LEDs in rear view, glove box, license plate light, and foot wells. Makes a HUGE difference and looks great. Pics don't do justice, especially in daytime.
