uke: don't want to be like the fords. But your truck lol
dont want to be like ford but since my 88 is a GMC it will be like an old GM, plus green is supposed to help keep you awake and last summer we drove my truck IA to NC/SC border strait thru.
Thought I would share some knowledge from what I've done.
I have done this set up in my old truck but noticed hot spots. Another member from a forum used an led strip and that's what I went with on my crew cab. Came out awesome imo. Doing this requires no resistors.
Anyone know if these would work as well? I've see the us speedo 360 led cube. Wasn't sure how they would be since they are 30 degrees

12V LED - 5mm White R500TW4D
This is what I followed
The outcome from above
And here is mine. Also put some in the AC controls.
Do you have any pics of the inside of yours since you have the trans temp gauge and the pictures if the open one dont?

Thanks James, I was going to see if you have pictures....Now its time to not be a chicken shit and open my gauages up. thats freaking sick!!
No Didn't take any. I did a set of 6 leds on the bottom left and then a set of 3 on the right because there is a screw that you need to leave space for. then I did a set of 3 on each side of the knobs. Haven't gotten around to doing the fan speed or the auto
No all I did was outline the trans gauge area. I wrapped it around the whole circular area
What length strip did you end up using or did you just cut some off that long ass roll you bought?
For white but you can ebay any color. I always make sure its 5050 300 smd leds cause that's the brightest I've found and researched

Ordered a strip of LEDs from v-led just moments ago....LEDs in my cluster are go!!!
Any one have pictures of what the inside of the digital climate control looks like? The auto light in mine is burnt out and some of the other areas look dim.

Here ya go, still had some led strip in there so I took some with where they are located in my current set up. the strip on the bottom left gets in the way of the button to circulate the air inside the cab. Now I did cut the rubber piece on the bottom on this one but on the one in my truck I just put the led strip directly on top of it and so it was flush with the bottom edge.
How do you plan to do the fan speed and auto/position buttons? I guess put the strips along side them??
Nope all mine is white with a bluish tint on like the 4x4 and headlight cause they have it on the button. I am not sure yet on the fan speed was thinking of doing the led and resistor there or trying to lay them so it would be able to function
