When I did mine I just replaced the bulbs with green LED'S give's it a cleaner look I think. here's a couple pic's to give you an idea of how the mod look's

Cluster

I used to have the cluster and heater controls done in blue, but I couldn't be bothered to go though the trouble of finding out how to change the power window and cruise control swicthes so I swapped it to green I also did the cup holder and the glove box light, I prefer it over the blue in my truck

Post up pic's of the blue LED's when you get them in

I commend you guys who would go to that extent to put led's everywhere. I need some pics before I consider this as well.

some turned out alittle brighter than others, not to sure why but i am still happy. the resume button i might have to try and dim alittle, one guy said to put a black dot with a marker on it to help any other suggestions

great job. they all look alright to me. some have a little different brightness to them, but really, who's gonna look that closely. the only reason i seen it was because you mentioned it;) if it was me i'de leave them and enjoy the new mod.

the window stitches are brighter because i left the factory resistor in, i could have swapped it out and brought the brightness down a little but i kind of like, will take some time getting used to.
