You need these, this color is Blue but if you look up on superbrightleds.com Another thing to consider is that the actual gauge card is printed green so if you want a color to shine through you need to remove(scrape) the card. Very time consuming and tedious. These are just for the gauges. The led's in the switches have to be removed and soldered in new leds. Here is a great write up https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...rking-now.html

I just changed out all my dash bulbs on my 2006 King Ranch and I ordered them from ebay for $5 for 20 of them. They are T5 or #74 LED's and are about twice as bright as the original. Two things to know.. You must install the LED in the proper polarity or it will not work. I marked one side of the bulb holder with a black marker and checked each bulb in the holder so that the black mark was the positive side. Turn the black as looking at the back to the 2 o'clock position. The second thing is that if you change the "battery" (charging failure) to LED, you will notice that the battery light will be dimly illuminated even if everything is okay. This is due to the very low amperage draw of the LED and the way the charging circuit is made. The next time that I take my dash out, I will change it back to the old bulb type.
