did the dash in about 20mins, 10mins of just getting the leds in the right way (+ to + - to -)

overhead about 5 mins

climate control 5 mins

so 30mins in all

fairly easy mod if your good at taking things apart

ya the hard/annoying part is when you have to get the leds in the right way i had to take my cluster in and out like 4 times lol

just 2 screws in the bezel and 4 screws in the cluster and its tilts down and out unplug 3 harnesses and don't drop it lol

and i got my film coming in the mail so it will soon be all blue i'll take so pics and maybe so a diy if i got the time

llooks good man. my blue will not light up the red so the white may be the wat to go for some people. personally i dont care about the red showing. superbright led has the and they are all plug and play no shaving. i would recommend for people wanting to do this to use the 120* angle as opposed to the 100* they arent as bright but the light should spread morre evenly and reduce hotspotting. the overall cost is about 27.00 with the 100* bulbs for an 02-05 and 21.00 for on 06+ if you did the 120* it you br either 11.00 or 5.00 more respectively

On my 06 qc 1500 those buttons dont light up and never have since ive owned the truck. Is it only certain models that have that or does anyone elses do this as well.
