I would like to know how it runs 8.2 in 1/4 at only 130. The trap speed seems a little slow , most cars that i have seen run around that are busting 160. just wondering

Yes, there's all kinds of LED replacements out there. I haven't had a chance to order from these folks, but this might be of some use to you...

Not sure if these are what you are looking for:

21,000mcd 5mm White LED, Cree 7090 XR LEDs, Luxeon LEDs, Rebels, Endor Stars, Moon LEDs, LEDs by the piece and LEDs in bulk form are in stock.

From this thread on converting the dash light color:

So far I have installed a supplemental set of whelen led lights above the license plate that are tied into the reverse lights. I also have some led license plate lights for extra bed lighting when the bed cover is closed. I'm planning on a set of recon mirror marker lights and a recon 3rd brake/bed light next.

I need to do some LED's on my truck also. The interior/dash LED link that amdriven posted is my buddy Chris' truck. He said it was a PITA, but the results speak for themselves.

I have a few(about 1000) LED's under my toy hauler. I'd never do this to the truck. These are great for those warm nights outside in the desert.

I just said to my wife "That is really cool looking!"
