yeah i found it the other day, thanks browning...i sub'd it... looks like a loooot of work.. and i'm not a very patient person...might hit the junkyard soon and grab a spare and try it out on one of those so i don't ruin mine....plus i would like a red led cluster, but would need to find a way to switch the needle color or find diff needles to fit in there.

on a side note...
the 3m LED roll is ordered and shipped yesterday...should be here right after the new year.... So hopefully i'll find a way to hook teh switch up and have floor lights.

as for the dome light, i kind of wanted to stick the red festoon bulb in there.... after letting the LED's stay on for about 5-10 minutes they seemed to pick up the intensity a bit... so possibly might just keep the two leds in the maps, and get a red led off superbrite and hook it up in the map kind of like your buddies green light

I would only recommend doing colored lights in the door, they look awesome, but there's not a ton of useable light.

Also on your cluster, it may look cool with white numbers and keep the red needles

hmm... we'll see i'll try it out first and if i hate it...it's a quick fix... the light is only 3$ on ebay... so if i hate it i can get another one and switch it out within 5 mins.... and i'm for sure going to switch out the door panel lights ... because my current ones dont work anyways...

on the OP's forum he did that blue film over the letters, so i guess i was thinking red film...but if i don't put any film and just keep it white led i guess that wouldn't be bad either... i just kind of wanted to put a diff spin on it than someone else haha....

Only place I used a blue film on was the odometer screen. I put white over all the numbers to reduce hot spots. It would look cool with white numbers and red needles though

well the red led strip is taking way longer to get here than they said, was supposedly arriving today ... or tomorrow... However, after looking at the tracking number estimated date of arrival is january 29...yay...

considering ordering VHT nightshades and clearcoat to tint/smoke my tails.... because autozone doesn't carry it...

also am currently talking with moody_blue about a custom ford vinyl for the rear tailgate... as well as a side decal for the truck...

when i went to autozone, the duplicolor red for ford, didn't look even close to my truck's color...so i opted out of purchasing it, maybe if i find a closer color i'll buy some and do my tailgate and tonneau handles....

lots of ideas, lots to come...but a long wait as well haha

O'reillys usually carries night shade. And ford has multiple reds, did you match your color code?? Also sometimes the cap color is a bit off.

The rustoleum lens tint is what I used on my truck and it worked well. Prep is key. I got it at autozone
