I was gonna post pics of the difference, but I can't access any of them here at work. It's huge, though. I couldn't see anything in the truck or read my gauges at night, and now I can see them during the day.
EDIT:
Found a couple pics of the gauges.

Painted the needles:

I'm swapping all the lights on the F150 over to LEDs. Floor lights, dome light, gauges, and rear cargo light are done. The rest of the dash will get LEDs when I'm done rewiring it, and I have LED rope lights ready to wire into the side markers and front turn signals.

It's definitely been worth it. Especially in the gauge cluster. Easier to see not to mention it looks newer and updated.

Yea I have gauge cluster, shift indicators, HVAC, rear cargo and foot wells done. The other over heads, and vanity lights (for the **** of it) will be done too. Then onto the exterior. I don't know if I want to just do bulbs or try fitting some other kind of LEDs in the turn signals and what not. I guess I'll cross that path when I get there.

Put in my MJ shackles, front spacers, and new exhaust clamp. Was a good day. But I couldn't budge the bolt on my clayton track bar, believe it's seized. So looks like i'm going to have to get a new track bar with a bracket in order to fix that and set my track bar.

Dropped it off this morning to get an alignment. They called and told me that my camber was off by 1 degree and offered to do some offset ball joints for $600. Made me laugh. I think I can live with it. Haven't got to drive it yet though, still punching in hours at work.
