Default Led bulbs

I would like to replace all the dash lights in my 2002 xlt in not a big fan of the green and would like to replace them with white led. Does anyone know of a kit I could buy? And is it easy to replace the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel?

Changing the dash cluster bulbs won't change the light color. I forget what year the change over happened but earlier f150's used a blue tint and later ones used a green tint to color the light. Adding white bulbs will only show the respective color of the tint. You can scrape the tint off and if you're interested I'll walk you through the process. I have mine done white.

I'm not sure about the cruise control. I didn't do them. Are you good at soldering?

I speak from experience.... do not buy your LED's on Ebay. Spend a little extra and use a place like www.superbrightleds.com or similar.
