K this just look amazing so if who ever did it or some one that knows how to do it please tell me.

 

that is one of those ultra bright 194 replacment LED's. you can get them off the internet. get a wide dispertion pattern, so it is even like that pic.

thanks

Looks pretty good...

If i'm not mistaken, you should be able just to stop at your local auto parts store and pick up a different color bulb.

EDIT: doh! @ZZKKER beat me to the post!

 

a bulb wont be that bright. also, ta's use a smaller bulb than a 194 on the shift plate. so you would have to just find a led you want a solder the right resstor on the end of the anode, or get a 12 v led (generally not as bright as a lower voltage).

just a thought

thanks

 

i wish it was that simple but 1, all inside is orange and there is a orange paper i think between the template, and 2 the number just dont light up on mine like in the pic the whole thing does (look so cheap)
so what if i paint the inside of that thing like a baby blue, and then use a blue see though paper type thing under the template.
and then under the template paint it all black except the number and shift out lines, so the light will just get though the letters/numbers.

what u think?>any ideas?

 

oh and if u use just a blue bulb sooner or later it will go white again i want to make it so i can just use the white bulb, no what i mean...

 

they dont make blue bulbs in that small of a size. you would have to use a led. and it will never turn white. as for the orange, just take the housing appart and remove the orange color from the housing, leaving white, and then it SHOULD have bright blue out put.

thanks

 

kool never thought of just removeing the orange save me money on paint thanks. but still i want ta avoid leds, so i am trying to make it come out blue useing a white bulb.

 

I remember that pic from a couple months ago and the guy explained exactly what he did to make it look like that. Try a search.

 

that seems to be from SonarUn's Camaro

 

no offense, but actually they do, i know they sell them at auto zone, i saw them just the other day.

 

SonarUn

That is the member's name

 

Yep, thats my camaro..

EL Tape, thats how it was done. The bulb was actually removed completely. Its not that hard to do, just required a little bit of modifications. Its been so long I can't remember exactly what, but its pretty easy to figure out.

 

correct my if im wrong but couldnt you take out all the orange filters and make blue ones?

 

The orange filters are glued to the white and gray. If you try to scrape the orange off the other two layers come off also and I tried heating it up also.

Sonar, if you could please try to remeber, I would appreciate it.

 

Well what you need is a power inverter for the EL tape and the EL tape itself, use the regular wires that go to the bulb as a power source and that is pretty much it.

When you install it, you will have to take off the blue peice of plastic thats like a backing. Also, you may have to "break" your console up to access the areas you need to. Just JB weld or epoxy it back together and it should be fine.

I never took any pictures of the install

I am planning on doing the same thing to an Automatic 4th gen console whenever I get one installed and will take some pics when I do that one. Should be a similar process.

 

That would be awesome if you could get some pictures. The only hang up I'm having is how to seperate the backing on the original shifter plate, to get the orange off of there.

 

i'm gunna try my idea today and take some pics if it come out good. l
