I found pics of the climate control torn apart... it looks like there is one light on each side of the temp sliders.  It looks like the color is on the face, so I'd guess I should use white or natural light LEDs for those instead of red or blue?

You will need 3mm 12v LEDs in warm white either side of the sliders.  Any other color will affect the red bars. The rest are 5mm.

I have a Sport Red 06 and I am wanting to do my cluster in red. I already have the red LED lights in the steering wheel switches.  So i picked up s cluster out of a wrecked 06.

 

With this said does the cluster maintain the miles or is it sent from my computer to the cluster? I dont want to down my truck with my cluster out to get modified to red LEDs. Or does it matter my cluster is out while i drive and computer will send correct miles to new cluster. Wrecked truck had 166K miles. Mine has only 77,250

 

So who does this great site of knowledge say?

9 for the cluster backlighting, but the red LEDs are not as bright so you may need to put 2 instead. Here's one I just did just to show you.

 

 

 

Looks like what i want to do. Look good in real life? Any changes you would have done after the fact?

Mileage is stored in the IP.  Don't know how well the truck works without an IP installed, but you can throw in an IP from another truck and drive around with that while you wait for yours to be worked on.  The truck won't correct the mileage when you reinstall the original IP, it'll just start counting where it left off when you removed it.

So has anyone placed red LED in their IP?  If so who did it and the lights look okay or look blurred and fuzzy?  One IP repair place said they wont put red as the blue on the IP will make them look fuzzy and blurred.

RED LOOKS GOOD. Why it not on the polls for best color?
