1: take apart the center console and remove the ac controls panel (don't worry about what wires go were they will only fit 1 place)
2: Remove the rear plastic cover to the panel there are 6 phillips head screws to remove
3: Pull the circuit board (four more phillips head screws) and go plug it back into the white plug in the truck and look at the leds on the board you will not remove the 2 red leds all others will be replaced
4: This is the size of the LEDs your replacing the part number is SLT-773B
I ordered 50 from Oznium for about $24.50 plus shipping
5: Here's the finished product as I was sodering I used just a drop of new solder to add strength to the joint
6: Follow remove steps in reverse to reinstall (I would go and plug just the board back into the truck to make sure everything is working the way it should be first)
I will edit tonight to show finished pics of the ac panel

Success on the guage cluster I'll post pics when it gets dark here sorry for the delay just been real busy at work
Problem is I came up about 6 LED's short so I'm gonna have to order some more
so when you make the order on the 3mm surface mount led from Oznium order about 65 or so

Beautiful work, Ros! One a scale of 1-10, 10 being total pain in the rear, rate the tediousness of the work. And would you now be willing to do for others if paid?

That is badass dude!!! My hats off to you! "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!" You definitely have my interest in this! Let me know when you are completely done, how much all the materials and parts cost, and how much you would ask for doing this mod for me. That is just freaking sweet! The blue in the dash would go great with the blue leds I have under the footwells.

I'll be back around Christmas so we can se something up for then
Remember those are just the colors I choose you can go with any you want after thinking about it I've decided that my gear indicators need to be blue for the gears not in use, orange for the gear in use and red for reverse and like I said before gonna change out some of the nannies that I consider less important

Blue is my fav color so I'm fine with most being blue....nannies will prob stay as is. I'll get an idea of what I want to change and let you know. Christmas sounds great b/c that's my plan to be back as well.
