Hey lemme know what you guys think....

Trust me when I say it looks way better than the pics... its the slow shutter speed thats f'n up all the shots....

:rocking: :rocking: :rocking:

That's looks badass!

I wish I had the time/energy to do that. Better yet the know how. :D

[VicRed4.8]

That looks great. Now that you have had the Blue LED's in for a while, how do you like them? Does it ever get hard to see stuff inside the cab? I have had my Red LED's in for a month or so, and I had to put a regular bulb back in the map light so I could see things. To my knowledge I am the only one with red.

[quiksilverz71]

Looks awesome, are those the 4bulb LED, or just the normal ones? I need to get on it and do that I've been thinking about it for awhile now.:D

My interior looks sick... I only have one of the map lights with the 4led blue and the other one is a 4led white so I can see :naughty:

Its never hard to see stuff, actually I like it alot more. At night its really easy on my eyes especially the clear needles....

Its ok guys... atleast I know that right now Im the ONLY one with blue window control switches....

oh yea Ill take apart the window controls and show you guys whats up.... brb:read:

[MacADaYear]

This company camara really sux... but oh well.. you get the idea....

Here is the 2 leds... they are side by side at the bottom of the fiber optic plastic piece:

You can see here is where the tape help the leds reflect back the light so that the switches light up brighter :

Dang, i cant see squat! :(

I hope you get that digital camera soon and take some better pics.

Tell us the LED part numbers for the cluster and if they are direct replacements or did you have to mod them to fit.

Is that the stock instrument cluster? How do you remove the needles and how did you clear them?

Thanks bro!!!

For the cluster yes you can just do a nice clean swap with some 194 bulbs from superbrightleds.com. Took a little work to make em all work right but nothing to be intimated by....

The window controls etc are another story.... if you wanna do thouse you need some time and patience...

That is my stock cluster and I just clear out the needles with a razor blade. I used a small screwdrive to take off the needles.... but ive heard a fork works well too....:naughty: :read:

BTW yes a fork is a good tool to use for taking out the needles:read:.....TrEy:D

[MacADaYear]

Bro you dont need new sockets at all.
Ive changed my bulbs from stock to red to blue to blue agian to now blue leds and have never had any flickering or anything like that. Just take your time and do it right and you should have no worries.:head:

Yea they pop right off just make sure that you mark the needle placement and put them back on exactly as they were.

Dont be afraid... you wont hurt it :naughty: :read:

[LOW98GMC]

:LOL: :LOL: a fork???? thats what i was saying when my bro was using it do take off my needles, its a good tool to use besides just using it at the dinner table, and handy when you buy a new overlay and the company is 2 damn cheap 2 send one with it, which i believe they are suppost to.....TrEy:D

[SyckShyt]

I'm digging your all red dash lights:rocking:. I had red bulbs in my cluster for about 6 months, but then they started to turn to a light shade of red, and looked pink. I like the red LED's because they are brighter, and you dont have to worry about them turning pink.
