Just right under the dash, where your feet go.. on the top pointed down at the carpet. I just used electrical tape.

i bought a set of thoes blue led lights that are supposed to plug into your cigarette lighter but i wired them in directly to my fuse box and have them shining on my gauges so they glow blue at night i like them its easier on your eyes than the bright green lights in the gauges i do leave them on low though or else its a little too dim and you cant see your environment controlls but all the gauges still look blue

remember the reds use a different voltage then blue, they use around 3v. Use an LM7803 regulator instead of a 7805 or you will probably burn the LED's out prematurely

Well, I got the lights installed. Looks pretty good i think. I used red LEDs so its not as bright as the blue, but it adds a nice touch to the truck. I'll post some pic later on. K, if you want some info on how I did it with the red, let me know. Thank for all the advice guys.

That looks pretty cool, I might just have to do that. I already have my gauges changed, its a pretty simple mod too.

I finally got out there and got some pics in the dark of the LEDs I put in the cab a while back. The pics really dont do any justice but it looks good in person.
