For the past two weekends, I've been workin on putting LEDs in my '05 cluster. I purchased the 120 degree 5mm blue LEDs from superbrightleds.com. I bought the flat tipped, wide angle LEDs in hopes of a more dispersed light pattern that would evenly light the gauges. While it was apart, I also added an escalade style overlay with new needles and a chrome lens that I got from JP Customs. Without further ado, here are some pictures of the swap.

I still have to put the lens on and get some final shots of everything. But here is a teaser shot from when I tested it. The dimmer does work and this is at full power. Sorry for the blurriness.

Overall, this mod has been more tedious than anything. It gets a little awkward working with the small LEDs and resistors. Also, getting everything positioned on the board was the toughest part for me. Soldering is also required but I found this to be fairly simple, since it doesn't take much solder to secure everything. I actually taught myself to solder specifically for this project, so anyone can do it.

Also, many thanks go to JHForman, his write-up in the DIY section was a big help.

Looks great :cool:, I did this mod to my camaro when I had it. It was a little easier though since it only took 5 194 bulbs.

Nice Job! Looks Cool! I like the LED look.

That looks so awesome! Wanna do it for me? lol

that looks freakin sweet nice work man

looks good man want to do it for me too? i am thinking like an orange bulb color combo meself

:cool2::bling::grd: GOOD JOB..

You know I would pay to have that exact cluster, I am surprised no one offers this.

Alright, I put the lens back on and buttoned everything up yesterday evening. I don't think I have the motivation to do anymore though, sorry guys. Anyway, here are the final pictures:

The pictures seem to magnify the bright spots because they aren't as noticable in person. And the speedometer isn't lit as well as I'd like but I'm still happy with how it turned out.

That really looks good, what kind of cluster is it (well before you put new lights in?)

It's still the stock cluster; I just replaced the overlay, needles, and the lens. You can get that stuff through some of the vendors and the kit I used is called an escalade cluster conversion.
