    http://www.blackbirdlighting.com/ is owned by @blackbirdws6 here, I've always heard from anyone who's ordered his setups that they are top notch quality, which is why I intend to buy them lol. Would be dumb to go through all this effort and skimp on a cheapo HID setup that doesn't cut off right or put out the light properly.

    Went back through and cleaned up the first post by hosting all pics to image sharing sites to take some of the load off here. Also should make it visible to all non-members as well.

Here's a pic to illustrate, the top is what I ordered and doesn't work, the bottom is what MeanTA ordered and works perfectly:

    On the bottom side of the bases, you can see a slight difference, too. The top left is the wrong one I ordered, the bottom left and middle right are the ones MeanTA sent to me:

    Attachment 27354

    So, all in all, I'm stumped and can't figure out wtf is wrong with them. My list is good for everything except the instrument panel backlight, blinker, and sockets. If anyone else knows what the right part number is for the sockets, PLEASE post up here and let us all know. In the meantime, I'm just glad mine's done lol. Will now work on posting finished result pics to the first post.

    So, I've gone and done the same thing and ended up with the "new" non-working socket bases. Is there a known solution to this?

    Also, although you do say in your original post that your vehicle is a 96 TA, half of this guide is incorrect for the 98-02 gauge clusters and I ended up spending an additional $60 on bulbs I don't need for my 2002... It's not your fault, I was a little too gung-ho about it, buuut, it would be cool if you made that disclaimer for other morons like me, haha.

    Yes, this was written for a Trans Am with a 93-96 style gauge cluster (assuming they are all 155 mph speedo clusters, or rather that the 155 clusters use the exact same bulbs as the lower speed clusters, I'm not sure of that). Sorry for the confusion!

    I am not sure of an official solution at the moment for the different style bulb sockets they provide now. I ended up lucking out and getting the older style proper sockets from a friend who no longer needed his cluster. If you find one in your searches, please do post up and I'll be sure to edit this guide.

    Alright! I figured out what people need in order to do this. First of all, I did this for a 2002 T/A. It should be identical to any 98-02 Trans Am, Firebird or Camaro, and likely the 93-97 model as well, but no guarantees.

    Basically, you need the LED's that look like the one's MeanTA provided. I went on Ebay and found all 3 colors. The green ones are an opaque plastic base and not clear like the blue and red, but they still worked. I haven't received the red ones yet but they were identical to the pic and to the blue one I ordered (that worked) so I'm making the assumption that they'll work fine too.


    These links won't last, but for now you'll be able to see product pictures:

    Blue: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331196854179...witem=&vxp=mtr
    Green: http://www.ebay.com/itm/310758545605...witem=&vxp=mtr
    Red: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321413206373...witem=&vxp=mtr

    The other thing is that the stock socket bases worked fine, you don't need to order new ones. The total cost from Ebay (including shipping, so it will vary) was $60.

    All were 194 type bulbs for the 98-2002. I have no idea how to change the warning indicators, they aren't obvious bulbs like the 93-97, they may even already be led's. I can't tell. They look like they might be soldered to the board.

    The brights indicator on the 98-02 model is a 194 type bulb, not the same as the 93-97.

    Feel free to add this information to your write-up.

    EDIT: Quick update. The red bulbs came and they worked fine. Although I did find out that for some reason, some of the bulbs didn't come on. Opening it back up and rotating them 180 degrees fixed them. Same for my rear side markers. Really strange.

    Just another quick update on the differences between models as I do all this for my 2002. The front turn signal bulbs you indicate do not work for the 2002 trans am with the stock flashers, however they will work with EL12 flashers by Tridon/Novita Tech. Inc. Superbrightled's recommends a different part number for the bulb (a "CK" variant? I don't know, it might not need the flashers) but the bulbs you listed here work just fine as long as you also change the flashers.
