Alright well I've converted my Instrument Panel to LED

Converted HVAC Controls to LED

And also converted Dome light, Map lights and Cargo light to LED

(Picture taken at 8pm when it was completely dark outside)

...Though i do have a question wanting to put LED behind the rear windshield wiper defroster and control, though I'm not sure where to wire them up so they're on when the other interior lights come on (ex. HVAC, Window switches, Cruise control, and instrument panel) which pins do I need to use, or am I just gonna go at it with a multi-meter?, oh also converting Window/lock and cruise buttons to LED and maybe the headlight switch though not sure yet?...

What color did you have in mind? For the defroster /fog/rear wiper set, that's no issue, can be done pretty easily for me now. All I'd charge was price for LED, resistors.

As for the 4x4 switch mines a 2WD so I don't have that one, do have the wiring behind the dash, but not sure if it has power, and again just parts and labor, so around 10-15, plus parts

Now on the on the defroster/fog/rear wiper set It's easier to have the piece that ust bolts on to the bezel with them installed so I can pre-wire them all, any chance you have that piece as well. And I still have some of the resistors I used to do it. SO you're looking at parts+labor+shiiping
 






Those are very bright. I did my HVAC last night. I love it, it looks so nice. Pretty blue.
 


















Pics from Iphone looks a little pink but it is indeed red.

HOW DID YOU GET THEM SO BRIGHT!?!?!? I have the 01 Explorer Sport cluster and heater controls in my 97' and they suck at lighting up. At night you can barely see them... Please help
 






Did the gauge needles turn red because of the LEDs or or did you Change or paint the face of the needles red because mine are white
 






Oh and what size bulb did you use in the rear wiper switch, rear defroster and fog light switch are they 194s was it a t5. I did my cruise buttons those were t5s but I had to use the factory plastic light bulb plastic housing thing. I want to do what you did with those three buttons just don't know the bulb number(s) if you could let me know that would be awesome thank you very much.
