LED Gauge lights

Has anyone done a LED conversion for their gauge lights or have any info on how to do one on an 2005? I have been looking everywhere tryin find anything to no avail.

I guess if all else fails I will get a donor cluster from a junk yard and figure it out myself haha which could get interesting.

Thank you thank you,
You're basically right, really I think I want to take the color out and have evrything white when illuminated. I suppose the most complicated part of it is that I would like as close to a factory look as possible during the day. I'm pretty good with soldering and wires and what not, but I'm much better if I have a diagram. I'm willing to put the work in for a good result and I'm not above using the trial and error method. Thank you for your help and I will be researching right away and if I figure it out I will make sure to post a how to in detail.

I know that there are the grey and black based bulbs (OEM) I am assuming that the LEDs you sent me the link for are direct replacment and work for both sizes?

Either way thank you very much! I learned alot from that. I will let yall know how everything turns out when everything is said and done.
