Well after much info seeking it seems the warm white LEDs will give you the factory look instead of the blue.

Has anyone removed the blue tint found on the back side of the factory stock gauge cluster overlay? I soldered in white LEDs in place of the factory bulbs and wound up with blue gauges because of this tint. Truck is a 2007 Silverado Classic crew cab. Looked into new overlays from a lot of different aftermarket companies but would prefer the stock appearance. Just need to remove the blue tint from the backside without mucking up the front side.

I swapped in white LED's this past weekend, that was that seems to have been the easy part. Now the gauges lite up blue which is not what I was after. I would prefer the white instead. The LED's I used do not appear to have any hint of blue when on. One company I spoke with said I needed to buy a new metal face from them in order to have white backlighting again since to OE gauge face has a blue tint on the back that cannot be removed. Anyone else had this issue? When I look online at all the vendors that sell these LED's dash conversion kit's I always see white as well as the blues, greens, reds, etc. How do they do it? Any help would be great. Thanks

Anyone tried this yet?

Well I got my GPS installed and posted a how to on the FSC.com web site in the audio section. It turned out really well, looks factory and even has 5 bars of reception in its location which was a concern to begin with.

Who has insatalled a aftermarket GPS such as Garmin or Magellan units in the cubby hole space to the right of the HVAC controls. I am looking for pictures of install located behind the bezel and would also like to know which GPS unit you used. Thanks

Need to do this in stages so the amp will come first since I already have it. Will just have to go easy on the volume until I replace the front components. Not real sure about what to do for a sub I have a 10" Alpine but do not want to get real carried away with building a box and don't want to spend a small fortune on a sub box.

I have a 07 Silverado Classic Crew Cab with the stock two way components in the front doors and i am not real sure what comes in the rear doors. I have already swapped out the head unit for a Alpine CDA-9835 which is driving all the speakers now and it sounds ok. I have sitting in my attic a Alpine 5 ch. amp MRV-F357 that I am thinking about mounting under the rear seat and driving all the speakers with that just using 4 of the 5 Ch. for now. The big question is am I asking for trouble using this amp on the stock speakers, I am just looking for a little more volume not alot of bass. The Alpine head unit is only rated at something like 18wx4 so the power output would be a bit more and possibly cleaner. Thanks for any insight on this. Andy

What is it?

Wow it sure would be nice to see your pics, but I get the same error message about not being logged in. What's up, Moderators?

What's TB stand for?

I'm not trying to disable the DRL's, I want to be able to use them at dusk and manually turn on the headlights whenever I want them on.

Has anyone tried just un-plugging the sensor that sits on the dash?

How can I disable this, would like to choose when I use the headlights. I like the look of my amber DRL's at dusk. The amber park lamps just are not as bright.

That is a good idea but not really what I am trying to accomplish. I want to be able to have just the DRL's on at dusk, no headlights, no park lights.
