I just pull the a/c and the headlight switch. They are small soldered in bulbs. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> So it's either break out the soldering gun, or find covers, or high temp bulb paint. Do they even make bulb paint? One warning, be VERY careful when you take the headlight switch apart, it has a few small parts that will fall out. There is no point in taking the front cover off, just the back.

hey guys....just did mine in red today, except i used regular bulbs, not leds.....much cheaper lol....like 10 bucks from pep boys, but i dont they are as bright.....also painted my needles red to match my gauges....looks sweet <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ill post some pics if my digital camera isnt being a bastard

marc, don't paint your's. if you already got them clear i'll give you mine and you can paint them and you can give me your's since i was gonna do mine.

 

matt i just wanted to see them and see what they looked like before i made that decision but i probaly wont paint mine

sup guys. just got back on campus. my camera, or should i say my dads, was dead, but i got some buddies here that have one, so ill try to take some pics, maybe tuesday....anyways, painting them is not that big a deal. all you gotta do is scrape off the stock paint on the back, and then put a small coat of yours on. you dont paint the whole needle, just the back. i used my moms fingernail polish lol....so easy to do....noy the match my reverse glow gauges. oh, and i repleaced my map lights too with red bulbs....i dont think those are gonna last, its hard to see....but the other light look cool as heck <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

Yea good luck with thouse pepboys lights.
I had the same ones and they only looked decent for like 2 weeks then faded. Soon your truck will be all pink instead of all red

Trust me when I say LED's are where is at.
Low power consumption, and they never fade.

Ive been thru many pepboys bulbs as well as piaa hyperwhite etc... and the leds are by far the best

 

This might be a stupid question, but, how do you get the bulbs out of the housing. I took the cluster out, and took the cluster back panel off. Twisted the 6 bulbs out, but can't get the bulbs out of the housing. Is there a trick? It feals like I am going to bust them.

 

ok just bust the stupid bulb thats what i did then pull it all out including the sides that are metal then you will reinsert the side tabs and stick the bulb in
