Default Anyone upgraded their dash light to LED's ?

I have a couple of bulbs that are out or just missing in my instrument panel especially the cruise control and a couple that I probably haven't noticed yet. So who has just made the switch to LED's ? I see them on ebay but I haven't found any for my 99 yet.

I was even playing around with the idea to change light color for my tach and speedometer to red or blue. The other idiot warning lights will stay the same as they always been.

There is a good tutorial over here (remove space in URL, for the mods, I couldn't find a good article on here):

There was another thread around here somewhere, that another member did just that. Changed everything over to LED's.

I know, I tried searching for it, but couldn't find it. I will address it in my instrument cluster writeup.

The process is about the same on any vehicle. Pull the cluster out, replace the bulbs with LED's. Visit superbrightleds or amazon or vleds to find out what bulbs you need.
