No problem bud. That's why people are scared of doing the led swap in 93-96 Camaros. It's an easy job tho. Any questions, let me know.

Well, finally got around to doing some pictures at night to get the full effect of the lights. Keep in mind, these pictures were taken with my DroidX. While the quality is usually very good (See my day photos in the "Post Pics of Your 4th Gen" thread), the quality at night drops significantly. Without further ado, here's my results:

I have a question, but first wanted to say, thanks so much for this guide. I did a full LED swap so that I have the blue LED's everywhere. The only exception I have is the Fog light switch, and the window heater switch. These both still have the gunky greenish lights in them. Does anyone know what size bulbs, or what I need to do to switch these out?

I put a 5mm leds with a 560 ohm 1/2 watt resistor in the fog, defroster and 2nd gear start switch. Fog and defroster have 2 bulbs each one for backlight and one for on and off indication.

I did all 5mm leds in the cluster gauge back light by just soldering the lead to the board and left warning lights the standard bulb.

Mirror and rear dome light I got 6 leds that are 5mm in each. Made on a popsicle stick and works great.

Ac/heat controls, door lights and gear shifter. Are 5mm leds. Headlight switch 3mm led

Stock bose cd stereo replaced all bulbs with 3mm leds.

All cost about 10 dollars and time for some resistors and leds. Made it all myself and always can go back to stock and never looks touched.

For the fog light and defrost switch? How about the sgs and top up/down switch. I would really like to see how you got a 194 in there, when no one else has. Just like you mention that red can't be used on a camaro cluster, I've seen pretty much every color, it's the birds that can't use any other color without switching to a camaro cluster or aftermarket over lay
