Dash light replacement


Recommended Posts

Posted

OK, so I have some dash lights, A/C control lights, 4wd selector switch lights, and a few radio lights out. My plan is to go ahead and replace the factory radio with an aftermarket unit. The rest of the lights, I have 2 options.

 

Option 1: replace the burnt bulbs with factory replacement incandescent bulbs, and potentially have to replace them again. Pretty much all I need to know about this process would be how many bulbs do I need, and are the bulbs in the cluster the same as the ones in the A/C and 4wd selectors?

 

Option 2: replace all of the bulbs in everything with LEDs. Again, I would need to know how many bulbs to get, but also what kind of bulb (size, viewing angle, etc) and resistors. What about colors? I would like to stay somewhere around the stock color and intensity, but I know white LEDs tend to be very glaring and have a slight blue tint. I have moderate night blindness with blue lights in the cab. Its to the point I have to add window tint over my high-beam indicator (which I will do when I get the cluster face off).

 

I know several people have done swaps like this but there are only so many places I can visit at work due to the filters, so Im hoping someone on here has some input, tips, part numbers, etc. Thanks in advance.

Cool, thanks. I found that one but somehow missed the post that had all the quantities listed. Read it again when you posted it and found them. Thanks again.
