1) Tilt your steering wheel all the way down.

2) Turn on your truck and put your gear all the way down to first gear. Then turn truck off.

3) Use your fingers and wedge out the dash trim, it should just come out.

4) Use a socket and remove all 4 bolts holding on the gauge cluster.

5) Unplug the wire attachment that you will see on the backside of the cluster.

6) Remove the black covering of the gauge cluster that's on the backside, use a flat head screw driver.

7) You will see 6 light bulb, remove them and replace them with the new ones.

8) Reinstall the whole cluster as you removed it, then your done.

I just placed the orders and will attempt the install when they come in.

 

 

Are the bulb housings tricky to get inplace, or does it fitn in the stock bulb housing.

I am going to have someone else do the HVAC and some other lights. My 01 has the same dash as the one in the pic so I think it should be the same.

 

 

Thanks again for the help

[beav626]

I got my LED's today and a few minutes later they were installed... I love the look.

 

The Speedo, RPM, and Fuel gage light up real nice but the other 3 (Battery, Temp, oil pressure) are really dim...

 

Any ideas? I will try to post a pic later...

 

 

 

Thanks Frost for you easy instructions!!!

[beav626]

I had some of the bulbs in there backwards...

 

 

here is the final product.
