that looks really nice. I want to do this mod but i don't quite have the guts yet to rip my dash apart.

Looks like your speedometer wasnt lit up in the last picture of it, the rest looks pretty good though

You didn't change any of your indicators to LEDs did you? I had a little problem with them glowing faintly when I tried it. I changed some of my indicators back to incandescent bulbs since I didn't feel like adding resistors. My turn signal indicators, high beam indicator, and a couple others are LED now though. I would have liked to leave my 4wd and low range indicators LED, but yeah.... I might pull it again in the future and add some resistors so I can go all LED.

you can get smaller wedge type leds that dont need resistors, thats what i used in the 4x4 switch. i didnt do anything to the turn signals or anything just the gauges.

No, I didn't mean the switches, I used LEDs in them already. I was talking about the indicators in the dash, where some of the bulbs I had to leave incandescent unless I wanted to add resistors.

I'd love to put something like that centre console into my Explorer except mine is a manual so a bit more difficult to put something in. Plan on doing my dash lights soon as well, although I like blue I will probably go with red since it doesn't affect your night vision as much.

I've got the equipment, I just don't have the guts to take it all apart. I've got a fear i'll get it all out and almost back together and break or mess something up.
