Talking Installed the Leds (pics)

Well I had to write an exam on Thursday morning and when I got home I noticed my leds had finally come in the mail. It didn't take long for me to get my truck into the garage and to get a fire started.

Heres the cluster. There's 4/6 leds because the two outermost didn't have enough room for the leds to fit.



Heres the bulbs. As you can see they're quite long and thats why they didn't fit.



While I had my cluster and dash apart I also changed the bulbs in the HVAC. At first one didn't fit because the previous bulbs had melted the plastic piece but a quick use of the dremel fixed that right up.



Before I was done I figured that the dome light took the same bulbs, so I gave it a try and they do fit. They make a huge difference when opening the door because now the whole cab gets lite up.

Those led's should fit in the cluster... they might be a little tight against the clear light diffuser part of the cluster, but they should fit... I've been using them for quite some time in mine.

If your old bulbs melted the clear plastic diffuser part, you can easily dremel it down to give them a little more headroom.

yeah i was sure they were gonna fit but whenever i put them in the end of the leds were rubbing up against the plastic and wouldnt go in all the way. i guess the old bulbs must have melted the diffuser like you said. I guess the dash will be coming apart again soon . I even have 2 left to finish the job.

Thanks buggman, you prevented me from spending more money in the long run.

Just swong by super bright today. Their hq is literaly a mile from my house. The 360economy white lights are a WLED-WHP5. Just go to superbrightleds.com. and in the search box type that item number in. Onn the web it will say WLED-xHP5. Thhe x changes with the different color you order.

----------

Correction, the 360 degree white led. Not 360economy... stupid. Auto word incert... also I picked mine up today for my cluster. Same bulbs. Can't wait to see the finished product!
