how much would it cost me to get everything in my truck done in blue leds? It's a 2006 crew cab 4x4 with power everything, and digital hvac controls

pm me if you don't mind

For those of you that did the strip methods, how has it been holding up for you? Any issues with ebay leds burning out? Think I'll tackle all the interior this spring when it warms up. lol.

The strip leds are the way to go. The light is even, no hot spots or dark spots at all. Mine is bright as hell when all the way up and can go pretty dim before shutting off with the brightness controller.

The only problem I had with mine with strip is that part of the strip has come loose.

Did your LEDs match pretty good with the strips? LEDs for window switches and shit. I'll probably use a little CA glue when I stick the strips on too.

Zip ties work well for the cluster

I have a WT, so only cluster and hvac leds here. I scraped the back of the gauge overlay so that blue film was gone. My cluster is completely white.

Off

On

I just took these now, so they're not the greatest during the day.

From what I can see it looks good lol

Mines been holding up just fine and dandy. If anything, they are almost too bright at times. Early morning driving to hunt/fish I find myself turning the gauges way down and can still easily see them without being blinded. I need to do the HVAC but havent figured it out yet.

 

[Ginger]

idk if i posted this in here or not, but all blue everything.

 

[Khaos]

I just have regular leds in my hvac, I haven't bothered with strips yet

 

[James Pate]

So jelly Bryan

 

[ScottyBoy]

I did strips in Bryan's cluster and 5mm LEDs in everything else.

 

[Ginger]

the only thing i want to change is the needles in my cluster, the blue blends in too much and at night i loose it in the numbers.

 

[cbrsilv15]

Anyone try camaro needles in their trucks? Not sure if they fit silverados, but I replaced my orange ones with red camaro needles in my s10. Just had to trim the tips to length.

 

[Ginger]

they sell red ones on ebay

[Bassmaster]

Yes, it'll still drive but it is illegal to do so, just so you know.
