Default Dashboard backlighting

Does anyone have information on replacing the backlighting of the instrument cluster and climate controls. Can it be done, and if so, how and how difficult is it? Just wondering. If anyone has any input, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Need more info on your truck like what year it is. In my 05 the climate is just twist in bulbs available from the dealer. I assume the cluster is the same.

Sorry about the lack of info. I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab. I'm wanting to change the lighting to blue, and just wasn't sure on how to go about it.

There's a huge thread on that over on the DT Forum. Just search for LED Dash Lights over there and you should be able to find it. If I wasn't so lazy it would be something I'd like to do...maybe some day.

IIRC i saw a thread once that actually stated what bulbs where needed (sizes) and where they were purchased, but no details on how to change them out...im curious to see what this thread you speak of has to offer
