Here is what I went out and bought:



And here is what my passenger door window switch looked like:



I have a 2003 STX. My door locked looked just like that as well.

Edit: Also, be careful, I just did this!

 

Great write up, Jake! Going to copy it over to TAC!

 

Jake-would this mod be possible to do on the Lariat digatal compass/ hvac controls? I have been thinking bout a mod like this for a while and I want the hvac/ compass- control to match.

 

I plan on replacing the new LED's that I just put in, due to I heard the clear color LED's are much brighter than the color coated LED's.

 

its little thyings like this that show you if there is a will there is a way. I wanted to replace all the interior lights on my 2007 screw harley to be HID White.....but i don't trust myself tinkering with the speedometer to change those out as well

 

the hvac controls are simple and covered in raptors cluster swap and ill look at the digital compass pics from patmans write up and see what could be done

yea its actually simpler than people think and the blue just looks soo much better than the green ford realized that too. my dads 2010 has a cool bluish green cluster

 

 

Just tired to do this with my 08 fx2 and the LEDs are completely different. My truck has surface mount leds and theyre tiny so i decided not to mess with them. anybody done the swap on an 08?

 

I would like to know this as well b/c I hate the green look

 

hey i tried this on my 2001 f150 xlt and the bulb is different do you know what kind i need?

 

most circuit boards will run a 3 or 5mm LED in place of the SMD. I did this to my 06 and ran all 5mm LEDs in and it has worked well. If it will physically fit it should work fine.

08 and Pmason, there is a thread floating around with DIY instructions for the 04-08 trucks. Its been done and is just as easy or easier than the previous gen trucks.

 

Fab thanks. I would love to do this but i have to admit im nervous, dont want to f something up, lol

 

Nice write-up jake... really making that truck unique

 

got any pics? itll help alot

thanks John

 

Its understanding to be nervous. Do you have any soldering experience?
Screw around with a little solder first so you can get a feel for it, its very easy to pick up IMO. Then when your ready take out the pass side lock switch. all the switches are essentially the same. So if you screw it up the truck is still 99% functional till you get a replacement. Trust me its just doing that first one, once you see how easy it is youll probably have all the pass doors done in no time.
