Default my gauge lights are dieing slowly
I have a red 1998 monte carlo z34 and my gauge lights are dieing. Now i was wounder would the red lights of a pontiac fit? becasue it would be really cool to get some red lights behind there and to light up the gears.

Jon, he is right. They make LEDs with the 194 socket on them and replacing them is a breeze. Hardest part is getting the face of the dash off.

Yep, if you can take the bezel off without breaking it, the rest is a breeze

They emit light equally from the sides, giving you a better look on your dash.

For those you have to buy your own l.e.d.'s with wire leads and wire them in.

All the info you need
