2008 instrument panel light part #?

I want to replace all with LED's. A lot of the sites like superbrightleds don't have LED's for the cluster and ebay doesn't seem to have anything come up that fits my truck.

I'd like to replace all the lights in the cluster, the odometer and the heat/ac controls too.

Anyone have the bulb part numbers or have links to a place online that sells the LED's?

Lastly, I know the stock bulds are slightly yellowish and everything shows up green. What color bulb do I need to replicate the stock look? I'm guessing cool white LED's would show up blue?

Thanks in advance.

Hey.

It's a #74 Led for the cluster.

These: http://www.vleds.com/shop-bulb-numbe...ed/74-led.html ( Y'all just missed Vled's Cyber Monday sale too, lol)

If you use white, it'll be stockish green ( there is a green film on the cluster ).

Lots of threads on this - example: http://www.f150forum.com/f75/replace...-20318/index2/

As for the center stack illumination & door/window switches, etc they are already Leds. If you wanted to do a color change, you will need to do a fair bit of soldering as they are tiny surface-mount Leds - they are embedded, not socketed.

A good thread: https://www.f150online.com/forums/20...rior-leds.html

good luck
