I put some leds in. Not finished yet but here's what I have so far.

They look purpleish in the pics, but they are a solid blue and pretty bright.

What did you have to do to get the over head ones in? I dropped the console and didn't want to drill out the plastic rivets to get to it. Is that what you had to do?

19trax95 · Aug 4, 2014

I just popped the clear covers (lens) off with a small screw driver and pulled the old bulb out and put the new one in.

I didn't have to take anything else apart.

Imma have to try that. What bulbs you running. I have ebay brand and they aren't that great

19trax95 · Aug 4, 2014

I bought some off eBay. They were $8 shipped for 10 of them. All the ones I got (they sent me 2 packs due to a shipping mishap) work 100%

silverado13 · Aug 4, 2014

I've had ebay ones and ones from superbrightleds.com. the quality difference is insane

silverado13 · Aug 4, 2014

But the ones one superbrightleds.com are like $5-$8 a piece

19trax95 · Aug 4, 2014

I bought from superbrightleds when I did my 95. And in my opinion these look better. The ones in my 95 has bright spots in the gauges and weren't that bright (and I did buy the brighter ones they have). I got all of these for the cost of 2 of the other ones.

the only thing I liked better on the ones from superbrightleds is the quality look of the bulb. But no one sees the bulb anyway so it doesn't matter.

silverado13 · Aug 4, 2014

I think the ebay ones are hit or miss actually. I've bought some that were crap and some where pretty good. I don't think it matters for the ones in my cluster because of the blue film in the cluster. Other then that the rest of the interiors are great

19trax95 · Aug 4, 2014

I'm sure they are. I had some ones I got off Amazon for my license plate on the 95 and on a few of them the bulbs burnt out. Not all of them, just like one light on the bulb.

I still have them and I'm actually using them on my 01 for the license plate. But the quality isn't always there.

It seems it could go either way.

The brightness is the only issue u ever have. Not the durability

Diggerdan11 · Aug 16, 2014

Removed my step bars and mud flaps. I think it looks much better.

silverado13 · Aug 17, 2014

19trax95 · Aug 18, 2014

Put some more leds. Hvac controls and headlight switch this time.

Re did the wiring to my abs sensors after it got ripped in half after the lift. Not sure if it over stretched on a turn or over travel on bumps. Both sides ripped in half though. Cut off the connector and about 3" from sensors and soldered on new wire in between.

Finally got around to replacing the AC compressor and orifice tube/filter since the compressor took a dump last October. Talk about a terrible placement for the compressor, holy crap!! haha

Blows nice and cold now, oh how I have missed driving my windows up.

Y'all know autozone sells led light bulbs lol

Well as for my truck I kicked the crap outta it the other day!

Bonecollector · Aug 20, 2014

Welded on some pieces from our scrap bin at work to allow my timbrens to work with the lift. Don't mind the Booger Welds. I hate these little flux core hobby welders, but no one was at the shop for me to be able to use the big welder.

Got rid of some more junk.
