How do i get the headlight switch in and out? And how do i get to the bolts for the ac?

Just unplug the headlight switch from the back.

I have pics of the AC in that write up also. Shows all the screws you have to take out.

I also did the dome light swap. I got one out of a Super Duty, but its the same idea. Its 10 times better than the old chrome one with the yellow lense.
Np bud Thank you anyways

Yes I love the newer dome light. So much better. When I had the stocker I pulled the plastic cover off just so I could see better.

Guessing the OD light is the same as my 94.. I just pulled it apart tonight to see. Not sure if ill be able to put a different LED in it..

Ill post pics.. Gotta figure this new camera out.



Its all soldered. Also doesn't look like it comes apart anymore than what you see.

I got leds for the gauge and the a/c turns and the headlights and wiper but the only one left is the od light. when i opened it its just a bulb with two wire leads wrapped around the holder so i might try going to radio shack and get one like that. also does anyone know where the speedometer cable come through the firewall cause i for the life of me can't find it and apparently i gotta take a clip off there to make slack in the cable so i can finally get my cluster out.

alright im looking on super bright leds.com and im having trouble. i dont wanna order the wrong ones so which ones do i need? anyone have a link or part number? i ordered some a while back but i ordered the wrong ones. i got ones with a single led in it before i knew that i needed a 360' type. so i used those in my license plate light and tonight i just switched out my a/c controls. alot easier than i thought but im going to have to see how bright they are. im going to go ahead and switch those over as well.

anyone have a link to the kind i need for the cluster and A/C?
