Took the guages off then switched the bulbs with #74 led bulbs you can get them from superbrightleds dot com and then unclipped the glass to get to the face and needles then popped needles off and slid a sharp knife under the face to get the glued part of face off the plastic then took acetone based nail polish remover and wiped the green goo tint off the numbers and blinkers then popped the odometer screen off by prying it up on each side with a knife carefully and pulled the green hue plastic peice off the back of it that was glued on around edges but came off easily then reassembled and tested had to flip some leds around because they work one way and if u do it make sure you take a pic of the guages with truck on and at normal temp so u know exactly were to adjust your needles back to because they most likely wont go back to same place......if u decide to do it and need more help let me know because theres some things these threads dont explain to you ha

I like the blue new vehicles have. Wish it were a little easier to convert.

Yea they look worse than it really is in the pic but i want to see about the 360 leds because i just tried these first so i didnt wind up paying 3x as much for bulbs that looked just like these in the cluster ha
