On mine, I did the white overlays and the white LEDs.. Well worth the $32!

That looks nice!

I would guess these are easy to see during the daytime also.

I don't really have as much of problem with night time as I do during certain times of the day when the sun hits just right.

Then I can hardly see any of the gauges from the reflection on the clear lens and black background.

Thanks for sharing.

thanks for all the great info.

did the swap (partially) it is somewhat better, but..

some of the lights on the back of the instrument cluster were hardwired to the little twist out light holders. anyway, can you replace all of the hardwired ones with the ones you can just pop out the lights and replace.?

would like to replace them all. I really like the look. had enough left over to do the side markers and the running lights on top of the one ton.

thanks

Yep, you can get new bases that will accept removable bulbs. I replaced every single light in my cluster with a new base and LED bulb.
