LED converstion

I'm wanting to do a complete (dash, marker, taillights, cab lights, dome, etc) LED bulb conversation on my 8th gen truck, but I wanted to see if anyone else has done it first before I invest a lot of money into LEDs.I already replaced all the exterior lights with silverstar ultras. But Im thinking brighter. Anyone got some pictures of any lights they have converted to LEDs.

I've changed all my idiot lights over but haven't done the backlight yet. Not much to tell you except get something really dim for the high beam indicator. The light I bought is so bright I can't use it, and I'll have to change it someday.

With all you said you wanted to change, there are several links I think would be helpful (I just went through most of what you are doing):

Talks about instrument cluster and lights - https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...t-wattage.html

and read this about tail lights... https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ts-lenses.html and https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post12966604

Good listing of what lights are on a vehicle - 1992 Ford F150 Car Light Bulb Sizes Information
