Heres my setup.

Got these bulbs from superbrightleds.com
5 - T1.5-xHP (x= color so mine are T1.5-BHP)
5 - NEOx-x (first x is MM, they have multiple sizes, you will need a 4mm, second x, color, mine were NEO4-B.) These 4mm bulbs will cover the HVAC cluster, and switch bulbs. If you dont have defrost, or fog lights then subtract accordingly.


Got the shift gate bulbs from ebay, they are your run of the mill 194 blue led. You will need 2.

Cluster came out the best imo, no hotspots



LED's-forumrunner_20120116_154454.jpg
The hvac cluster is weak, im going to try and find brighter bulbs and spray the interior surfaces with a reflective paint. Theres barely any light coming through the red section of the temp control. The switches came out fine as well, theres no reason this shouldnt be spot on.

The shift gates need a wide angle or side firing bulb so the hot spot isnt as pronounced.



They dont dim if anyone is wondering.

Gotcha, here's some of mine. All shown are L.E.D.s.

I love L.E.D.s, there are numerous advantages by running them. As you may have seen in my sig i have a total of 325, and that's going up by 40 soon for dual tail lights.

They are peel & stick led strips from Advance Auto Parts. I stuck them on the inside of my flares, but i have trimmed fenders and flares. You could probably still stick em on the inner wheel well.

What bulbs did you use for the washer switch, 4wd light, and a/c control panel?
