My factory guages, aftermarket guages, HVAC panel, speakers, stereo, amp, shifter, all have blue LED's.

lets see some pics

there was a time when it was 3 green in the middle and the others amber.. if your truck is of certian years (don't ask me which years) you can have the 3 greensin the middle and the rest ambers.

I will try, for some reason, pics of LED's never turn out to well. The light doesn't look as blue in pics. My shifter is a little ricey, but it has come in quite handy as it doubles as a flashlight since it unscrews really quick. The third pic is of my door speakers, they each have 4 LED's in them. I want to get some strip lights under the dash to come on when getting in the truck.

its a lot easier to get away with lights IN the cab, prolly only get "harrased" if you were already stoped. BUT YOU CAN NOT HAVE BLUE OR RED LIGHTS ANYWHERE ON THE OUTSIDE (BESIDES THE FACTORY OEM POSITIONS FOR RED LIGHTS), THEY ARE EMERGENCY LIGHTING. when we run to DE for fishing trips, we need to rip our blue lights off of our trucks that we use for fire police/firemen (in PA) calls. in DE that is what the POLICE use for their cars. them lights can get kinda funny, and hairy. i usually tell people to stick with amber lights in the front, and red facing the rear, and nothing under your vehical (at least in pa) it is not acceptible, and will most likely get you a ticket, and not a warning. however,,,,i never heard of anyone getting yelled at for making amber clearence lights darker. but i am sure someone will correct me on some of this stuff with "official laws"

oh and the inside of your truck looks sweet, and those blue clearnce lights did look pretty sick.:tu:

sycostang67,how did you get your dash lights(guge cluster)blue?

I got some blue 5 way LED bulbs in the cluster, just replaced the factory bulbs. I know the lighting looks patchy, but it is fully illuminated. The HVAC panel as well. The only real difference is the red colors become more purple with the blue LED's.

what did you do about the green gauge cluster color?i've heard there is a film type coating that makes it green

Didn't have to do anything to it. I have heard that if I had changed to another color like red, then I may have had undesirable results. Something about blue and green being on a similar spectrum makes the blue light compatible with the green overlay. :tu:

I got pulled over one night on my way home from work because i have fog lights in the front of my truck that can change to different colors and i forgot i had them on blue.The cop was nice about it.So i never use that part of them anymore.
