Here’s a pic of my dash with the new leds. I am not to crazy about the green.

I think he problem with the bulbs I used is that they only illuminate straight out. The ones you used illuminate straight out and 360 degrees. But that’s just my guess

So I changed my led bulbs to these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013QPHI3W/ref=pd_aw_sbs_263_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RND1581HW K2RRN3SRF97&dpPl=1&dpID=71Gcbz7PCaL and no change, still green.

Looks like you need to scrape the green tint material off the back of the cluster as another person posted. Be careful so as not to damage it visibly.

I really didn't want to have to scrape off the tint. Can you buy an aftermarket cluster cover that would replace the stock background? I have seen pics but don't know if its a whole new cluster or just the background.

You could try calling LMC truck or another company that sells dash parts, they might be able to tell you if the clusters they offer have the green tint material or not. Be aware, they can be expensive!
