Converted Dash to LED's!
When I bought the LEDs, I thought it was going to be a complete exchange. But when I recieved the bulbs, they weren't the same at all. So only a little custom work. Nothing fancy or difficult. I attempted a custom job on the door switches and completely fried my circuit board! So I'm gonna get another off of eBay and try again.
is this what the stock bulbs look like?.....i know the dome is like this ....i have a blue led in mine.....

when you write the next one, do it in MS word and then cut and paste over to the forum. The formatting will stay and if you include pics and use something like photobucket's [IMG] code, it'll transfer the pics right in.
Much easier than losing a big, long post.

Agreed. This is a mod I would like to perform on my truck as well.
Hitting the "Back" button on the browser will take you back to the page where the post was composed. I've done that many times to salvage a post since what was typed is kept in the browser's cache.
That is ****ing awesome. I am gonna do this once my engine is done. I got the Autometer cobalt gauges and want my cluster and stuff to match. I was hoping someone would post up pics of how it looked after they did it. THANK YOU
Can't wait to see the write up.

Nah, those are inverted too, I didn't get inverted. They look slightly similar to the ones I bought, for the climate controls. But for the cluster, they have 5 LEDs instead of one. Four shining sideways and one shining up. I'll show you the ones I bought and how many if anybody wants to purchase now. I plan on getting the DIY up tonight if thigns go as planned. But y'all research a little bit. When you see the LEDs I bought, see if they only have the LED part. I bought the LEDs with the twist-lock already installed. But NOT ONE of them fit and I had to use my stock twist-locks. Check it out, this is what I got:

7 of WLED-B5 LED WIDE ANGLE BULB (Page 1)
1 of T1.5-B INSTRUMENT LED BULB (Page 2)
3 of 5mm NEO5-B (Page 2)
Prolly about 2 hours after I got the LEDs in the mail. But that was with me improvising on what the hell to do when the twist-locks weren't the same. So prolly around an hour...
