So I'm still kind of a newby to the Cobalt scene and I have a question about the bulbs in the speedometer. I've seen people do the led conversions on threads, but I don't have the vision or steady hands to solder what needs soldering, so my question is this. Is there a way to replace the halogen bulbs in the cluster to led replacement lights and get near the same effect? I have done this in a few of my cars and it worked pretty well when I took a black sharpie to the top of the led to make the light distribute more. Has any one done this or does anyone know where I could get replacement leds to fit the bulb sockets and if it would work? I'd love to know because I would love my gauges to either be white or a light blue. Thanks in advance guys and or gals!

The only way you can put leds in our cluster is to soldier them in. It's not a plug n play bulb.

That's what I was afraid of, lol. My dad can do it but my step mom keeps him so busy it'd take him a week to do it and I can't guess my speed for a week, lol. Thanks for the quick reply!

It's not that hard to solder and I haven't changed my LEDs yet but I got a how to and can show you step by step when I do it. I don't think you can replace the bulbs or alot of ppl would but maybe I'm wrong.

I really can't solder, I have really shakey hand's and nerve problems so I randomly throw things out of my hands not to mention not the greatest sight, lol

its super easy i did mine in less then an hour, it took me more time to take apart the dash then it did to do it

true but soldering is a skill/ talent that not all people have. Id try to see if you could work something out with ur dad to get it done in one day if not then id just leave it as is.
