how did you do the LED's? did you buy a direct plug in LED for each replacement (does someone make such a thing?) or did you buy the standard two wire LED and fab up some shit yourself?

Custom. I took a broken overhead monitor apart, fabbed up the housing with fiberglass and mounted the monitor in there.

Yessir, mine just plug in. 03+ trucks are soldered in, but can still be done. My HVAC controls are soldered. I just desoldered the old bulbs and soldered in new LEDs and resistors.

Are the bulbs hard to access? I'd imagine that you have to remove a large portion of your dash (read: the whole fuggin thing) to get to all of the LEDs....


The end result is amazing looking, I just don't think I'd have the time to do it. My truck usually can't be out of service for more than a couple of days.
