I've got a question, what type of LEDs, directional or ones with LEDs on each side?

Yep, I wanted to know if you changed them out too. If so what bulb number, THANKS! Also Nice job on the upgrade, your truck sticks out more and more.:thumbsup:

On my 1999 Ext cab, it had the airbag switch, but it had a connector on the back of it, so no unscrewing was needed. Its the same setup on my 2000 F-250.

So, theoretically, one could obtain blue 194 incandescent bulbs, install them and not have the typical LED hot spots but would still have a nice blue tint. Would you agree? I only ask because I powder coat these 194’s to the color I desire (transparent) and they never fade or burn to a different color. If this will work (in theory), I would like to try it on my 08.

Cool, thanks. I might have to see if I can find some LED's that disperse light better though. I want to do this but I don't want the hot spots.

Wide-angle LEDs would solve this problem but there are plastic runners inside the cluster that help disperse the light that are the shap of the bulb. My 194 LEDs are smaller than the incandescents, so they fit fine, but any other type of light that is bigger than the standard bulb wont fit correctly.

My thought is to scuff the surface of the LED from a polished clear to a satin surface. To disperse the light better and make it softer. I hope that makes sense.

Not to mention scuffing the surface won't yield visible results, IMO.
What was the verdict on the dimmer? Still functioning or not? |
Well try it out and let me know.
And yes the dimmer works 100%. I use it all the time! |

Interesting, my '97 has blue gauge/steering wheel lights stock, but green door switches. Grandfathers '97 is green all around.

nice write up man, id love to do this but i think its a little to much for me, id love for mine to be bright blue
|
How much do the LEDs cost? Total cost of the project???
|
A pair of 197-LEDs costs around $2.00-$5.00 on eBay. So you're looking at a 2 hour-$15 project here!
