Okay, I didn't figure this out by myself, someone at that “other site” posted up and I followed the directions. Since I haven’t seen it here I figured it wouldn’t hurt to post up. I’ve got a 2000. I don’t know models well enough to know what years this will work on but I’m sure somebody does.

1) Tilt your steering wheel all the way down.
2) Turn on your truck and put your gear all the way down to first gear. Then turn truck off.
3) Use your fingers and wedge out the dash trim, it should just come out.
4) Use a socket and remove all 4 bolts holding on the gauge cluster.
5) Unplug the wire attachment that you will see on the backside of the cluster.
6) Remove the black covering of the gauge cluster that's on the backside, use a flat head screw driver. (see pic of black tabs on side)
7) You will see 6 gray light bulbs, twist to remove them and replace them with the new ones. (I can only see 5 large ones in the pic, I think I might have clipped the 6th.)
8) Reinstall the whole cluster as you removed it, then your done!
I can't find my after pics but they look lighter in the pics. They display fairly dark but I like it.
Here are some pictures with a before from my '** and some afters from whoever I got the write up from after he installed blue LED's as well as some red LED's (not mine)
