still worried about if it will be too bright with nothing to absorb some of the light's energy... at least it will be red light and thus lower energy haha..
the led's from superbright allow you to dim you dash still

thats no good about you MCL tough hope you get better!!!

okay and how hard is it to get to my lights in my dash?

i know how to take my dash apart... trim pieces off, unscrew faux wood or brushed aluminum trim, and then there are just more screws to take the cluster out correct? then what?



also, what about my dome light? removal and replacement on that?

andddd, my bed light, it's an accessory light, but wouldn't mind making it into a brake and/or turn signal light.

then you take out the 4 screws in the cluster, one in each corner. gently pull on the cluster till you see the cable going into the speedometer, but dont pull too hard. it unclups by squeezing the white ring. its a pain in the ass till you figure out how to do it. once youve got the cable off, theres 2 seprate electrical plugs, those are self explanitory.

pop off the cover and put in a new light, nothin to it

andddd, my bed light, it's an accessory light, but wouldn't mind making it into a brake and/or turn signal light.
ive thought about that too... i really want a 3rd brake light on my truck and i dont care too much about the cargo light.


btw, once you put the led's in your cluster, test it before you put it together. if any of the led's dont work, take them out and turn them 180* and reinstall.
