How-To: Change your cluster color on 97-03
it has one that I think just slips in...but you have to take the cover off and its hard to get to. atleast it was for me. and youd have to glue it back on. some ppls years you have tabs so you can take it apart. not for me. it also just popped out instead of locking. but Ill see if i can take the green light out tomorrow. oh fyi I got a new switch so it would look stock using a stock switch that had the fog light pull on it, and i paid good money for it too.
yea mine has the tabs that comes apart and i got the stock bulb off but i couldnt get an led that would work in it. it either blew the led or the fuse when i put a resistor on it. see if you can get some pics of the bulb set up. i just took mine out for now so there is no light there
can you send and recieve pics and texts via cell phone? that would be the best way to get pics, since to upload here my camera takes amazing pictures but the res. is too high for the system....PM me..
x2 thats probably your best bet guys
I'm planning on doing the vents soon too and adding more LEDs under the driver seat for the rear so if i can get the selector done that's the last major piece to finish with them.
this is good...i did this a while ago..thought i posted it here guess not here is link to what i did...i did everything window/cruise controls..there are pics as well

wow fully ford yours looks great!!
ill do a write up of the HVAC cluster when i go back in and change the LEDs for regular blue ones if yall want.
jake what year is that extra HVAC cluster from??
looks like im gonna be making a trip to the junk yard soon!

Fullyford- what did you do to get the headlight selector switch to work i couldnt find the right led to work for it.
blackoutv6- its from an 02 sorry, ill have it tom to show you when we meet up. if you go to the yard and find a 97-98 with grey interior let me know im looking for door panels and switches

what specifically did it take to do the headlight switch? i tried changing the factory bulb to a 3 or 5mm led and it blew the led and then i kept blowing the fuse trying to find out the voltage
sorry i get what you mean now....you have to put a 12v resistor in so that you don't blow the bulb....the leds that i got came with resistors so i just used one of them...not sure what size it was or anything..you need the resistor cause the factory bulb thats in there is just a regular bulb...unlike the window switches which are leds. so if you put a resistor in there you should be fine

k well i just got done outside. i got the headlight switch to work.
went to the shack and got a blue led 3.7V 20mA and some 680ohm resistors. i took the stock bulb out and ran the led in the stock holster and soldered the resistor onto the led positive side like so

then put it in the switch and it worked.
