Buttoned up my dash after adding cellular remote start capability to my little XL. Time to start planning next project, budget seat heaters!

Too darn expensive to just be sitting on the shelf not being used.
Super easy. NOTHING needs to be disassembled. Just work from under the truck. No need to even Jack it.
Turn wheel OUT on the side you are working on.
Remove OEM adjuster screw. Then simply pry tab on one side to pop out half of the foglight and then pry on the other side and OEM foglight will come out.
Take your assembled DD SS3 and push it into the opening. You will hear click and its done. EASY!

LOL. That is a loaded question.

Take it apart, Remove Needles, Remove two stepping motors, Remove 6 OEM Teal SMD LEDs, Retrofit 6 new Red LEDs, Depending if your needles are Blue or White, you will need to remove blue and paint with White. Reassemble. Enjoy.
