The natural white still has a blue tint to it, I see. Do you guys think that the warm white wled-x5's would be closer to the stock color? I like how LED's are bright and crisp, but I'm not a big fan of the blue.

I am too, I've been poring over various sites the last week or so. The instrument cluster uses 6 194 style bulbs with twist locks for illumination. I'm thinking the WLED-xHP bulbs would be better in that application but I haven't tried them.

​

The 4WD indicator also uses 194 bulbs that plug right in. The 120 degree bulbs I bought aren't very bright in the indicator, but they do give it a kick ass blue glow at night.

​

The bulbs in the door lamps and footwell and the glove box are 194 bulbs, and the 120 degree bulbs work very well. I think the SMD type bulbs will work best in the dome lamp.

There are cheap twist locks connectors available on ebay, just search for 194 twist lock. 3 bucks shipped for 6.

The Escalade cluster has a blue tint from the factory, the regular cluster doesn't have such a blue tint

I think the factory color is a Aqua Blue, I wish I would have took a pic before I changed to LED's. The speedometer is dead on, its a direct replacement.
