I have seen it done, I believe a member on here did it, he has got a website and everything with some details, I looked through my favorites thought I had it bookmarked but couldnt find it... Anyways I emailed him and talked to him about it, he said how much work do you wanna do and how long do you feel like having your truck down. He did the blue leds and had to put in resistors and such to get it to operate correctly, he said after a while they started going white, and if he had to do it again he wouldnt... I liked the looks of it looks awesome with blue leds everywhere

I did it to mine...it wasn't down at all. I have changed my window switches and all the dash lights except for the instrument cluster. I am still trying to figure out how to do that as the ones that I have seen done simply painted the cluser blue as it is a green tinted plastic doing the color change. My LEDs have not chaged to white...its not possible for an LED to change its color. You are gonna be looking for 3mm leds in whatever color you want.

I'm not sure if the dash bulbs are 194's or not, but you need to find the exact bulb replacement #, then check out ebay for them (194's in this case listed) New and used LED 194, Parts Accessories, Car Electronics on eBay.ca prob come in all kinds of colours.

I LIKE it.. If I thought I had enough time and electronic abilities I might try it. It would match my paint scheme

autolumination.com has a vast variety of LED's. I just bought some front blinkers and runners and also a cool festoon interior bulb. Kind of pricey but well worth it.
