take pictures from the back but it should be

led 1 + is next to the arrow and led 2 negative is next to the arrow.

the arrow is the diode symbol and tells you which way the current flows. want it to hit positive first

Look very closely at the LED. Anode has the blade (and longer lead) on the left while cathode has the little "scoop" on the right.

raptor, Do you knw how to swap these out on the 04-08's How about the dash ?

Swap out LEDs? I'm kinda confused. If you are referring to the above, simply heat the solder to remove the old one and solder in a new one. If you are talking about a step-by-step like I did my 1998- no. I haven't even ridden in a 2004-2008 truck let alone take one's dash apart.

I don't recall the 98 how to.
