Took me about 2 hours. The hardest part was calibrating the needles

Man that looks nice!!! Good job! I don't think I would be up for that. I know one of the members on one of the titan sites are doing them for a fee so I might go that route.

Can you get a night shot?

Here is the night pic you requested, there was about 30 leds to replace. The hardest ones were the ones around the needles because they are smaller but it just comes down to patience.

That looks sweet. I never really cared for the amber color so this is something I am definitely interested in. I have never pulled the gauge cluster apart. Is it as simple as pulling old lights and plugging in new ones. What LEDs did you use?

I had JonBlazed from TT do my cluster. I already had white gauge overlays, so he changed out the LED's to white and the turn signals to blue.

He does a package of cluster + window switches + climate control for $150
or
Just the cluster for $60

His number is on the first post in the following thread:

I was tempted to do that until I saw all the other lit switches in my cabin that would still be amber (tow, vdc, peddle adjust, lift gate, window switches, heated seats, etc.).

How does it look with the other stuff still lit up amber?

Or would the guy do everything?

What about the head unit display? Is that amber color changeable?
