The gauges look really sweet in your truck Daniel, Much better than the green, they look great

Hey Mike, do you remember which lights you used for the oh console? Theres various different ones to choose from (numbering wise) do you happen to know which ones they were? I dont want to order them and then turn out to have gotten the wrong ones

yeah im with my kids today. the overhead will take 3 bulbs and the film. the film i have will match the blue lights only not the white. if you want to go white you will have to see which film works. i will get you a link later tody when i get time. the overhead are all twist lock like the guages and hvac, unless you have the dual climate control like i do, then its soldering the hvac

Overhead Console:
Use a small tip screwdriver and pry out the map light lenses. Remove the map light bulbs. There are two torx screws to remove. Once these are out, the rest of the assembly will pop off. You’ll see the 3 bulbs in the back of the black electronics module. Pull out the bulbs with a quarter turn. The 3 Neo bulbs go in here. Again, test for proper polarity before reassembling. Now remove the black electronics module from the bezel. Carefully remove the smoked plastic lens over the computer display (FYI, this display is a Vacuum Fluorescent Display or VFD). Cut a strip of the RoscoLux #74 gel to the same size of the glass face of the VFD. Give the face of the VFD a good cleaning with a lint free cloth. Don’t use any liquid cleaner. Next use some good quality clear tape, and tape the gel in place. Reassemble the module, then put it back in the bezel and put it back up.

Thanks Mike, I deffinitely want to go with blue, i think it goes the best with black and I will be also painting the oh console black when I take it apart (might as well if I'm already doing all that.)

And the link doesnt take me anywhere btw, would my truck use the sam bulbs as stated in the write up even though its for 06-08?

Thank you so much Mike I really appreciate all the help. The blue film is ordered from where? You said you have some that you would sell?

**car_enthusiast63** · 03-17-2011, 01:10 AM

Before I order the LEDs to change the ones in my oh console (dome and map lights as well) I included the link of the ones I believe the truck would use for the map and dome lights, I dont want to order the wrong ones, does anyone know if those are the ones? Or do I need different ones?
