Yes, very easy. I took enough pictures to do a How-To if you guys want

from turning the first scew to clipping the last piece of the dash back on, about 30 minutes, but expect much longer because I've taken my dash apart 5-6 times and I could do it blindfolded if need be.

No, mine have blue LEDs (see below). But it seriously reduces light output, I'm kind of disappointed. I just got off work and the last thing I want to do is get back in that truck, nighttime pics maybe later.

Well i just ordered both...i figure i will put them both on, and if i dont like it, i will take one off. they arent that expensive...especially with the 10% off code! (thanks raptor!)

still debating if i should buy red LEDs or not...im afraid of getting a purple color with out taking off the blue tint..

The Autometers look nice and clean, but I kinda' like the bigger size of the factory speedo and tach. My $0.02

Then again, that may be just what I'm used to after 10 years... :shrug:

Yes, same place as it is on all trucks with tach and digital odometer (forget which model year they made this change, but definitely before 2000... '98?).

well apparently i dont pay very much attention to what im ordering...maybe i shouldnt do it at 2 in the morning. lol but i accidentally ordered the white overlay for 99-03. i emailed them and the guy emailed me back saying the other ones had already shipped by the time they checked their emails the next day. lol so he told me when i get it, to just write return to sender on the package and they will send me the right ones. for once super fast shipping was bad lol but their customer service is good.

i believe it was 99 when they went to the digital odometer. my 98 still has the analog one. makes finding a decent cluster impossible.

That is excellent customer service if they're taking care of your mistake for no charge, even though it costs them money. I assume that was whitegauges.net? Score one for them!

Yes sir...I can actually see more of the speedo than what is shown when actually driving...I wanted to make sure most of the cluster was in the pic and not blocked by the steering wheel
