  • Converting camaro gauges to firebird gauges?

    I like the orange of the firebird gauges (it reminds me of BMW's and what not). Anyways, is there a way to do this or mimic it somehow?

    you dont have to covert the gauges all you have to do is change the bulbs. i have for the 97+ theres 5 194-style bulbs in the cluster for the tach speedo oil voltage fuel and temp. 3 are for the tach and speedo and 2 are for the rest(one on each side). i made my speedo and tach that super white/blue color. then the rest of the gauges red. you can get the bulbs at like walmart for like 2 bucks. i wouldnt paint the bulbs though cause there no where near as bright. if you want you can order the ones that have the color glass from like jegs or somewhere. the ones at walmart are like a paint but there still good and bright.

      So I can just get orange 5 orange bulbs and replace the stock ones? Do you have pics of your gauges?

      edit: Oh ok, now I remember doing a search about taking your auge cluster out and changing the bulbs. Well, I broke my dash pad trying to install indiglos so I don't think I'll be doing this mod. Thanks though

              Oh well, I don't think it's worth the hassle-hoff.
