Ah. Just curious. Luckily I have a 97 so it's easier for me, gauge cluster and HVAC take the same type of bulb.

And you have bigger bulbs for better lighting. One reason I'm jealous about the 97-98 trucks.

Yep. Now all I need is a 99-03 bumper and grille swap, some lightning headlights with retrofits, and a fresh coat of paint and I'm sure y'all will be jealous lol.

Yeah, you can easily change the front end to the better version, though its basically impossible to change our clusters to the early years... But! I'm happy with the wway my cluster looks right now, so I'll leave it be...

Question. How do you take apart the lights that shine over the back seats? I want to change the bulbs but don't know how to take apart the enclosures. Don't want to break them.

Look at the lense and you'll see a groove, stick a small screwdriver in or the tip of your knife and they'll pop right off

Thank you pal.
I saw that little groove but I wasn't sure if I should go for it. Lol. I'm so scared when comes to plastic parts. Don't want to break anything.
