mine, the ones i got from the peterbilt dealer i work at and i found out these lights are incredibly hard to photograph...in other words i cant get a pic of them where they arent all blurred...still havent seen the lights completely i found one of the alt. bolts was stripped so i gotta put the new alt. in tomorrow and HOPEFULLY my battery will be back

looks good. i am actually working on this myself. only excpetion is i am removing the green tint. then will add blue leds. to remove the tint, just pull off the needles and peel off gauge face. then scratch or wipe off the green tint layer and reinstall everything. only downside is that you have to recalibrate some of the gauges.

way i see it...if you dont lay them down (which completely wrecks the as previously mentioned) and you dont touch the needles you dont need to recalibrate them haha
i currently can not think of the name but they are big into LEDs and like i said peterbilt dealerships sell them from the front counter

I think im going crazy because I just bought 10 194 bulbs and pulled my dash and ac apart and they are all the 905 twist lock bulbs.. Only one so far that is 194 was my ash tray light.
EDIT:
OMG im an idiot.... they pull out of the "twistlock"
Shows what 4 hours of sleep does to you..
Pics up soon.

Ok... Don't buy cheap single LEDs for the Illumination of the gauges.. Mine arnt bright enough.. They work great for the warning lights though. I paid $4.00 for 10 LEDs.
I just bought 8 of the 5 LED wide views for $19 shipped.(same ones Sycostang used)
Now time for dome light and door panel lights..

I need to get some clear headlights so I can do all LEDs up front.
I want my whole truck to be LEDs

The gauges looks awesome. I will have to do this to my truck to match my Pioneer HU. I pass by Peterbilt everyday on the way to and from work.
I don't know about the cluster needing to be upright at all times. My dad's 93 cluster laid flat on the work bench for 2 days while we replaced burned wires behind the dash and it still works great.

oh yeah...company that makes the lights i got is united pacific industries
United Pacific Industries | Home IIRC, if not just google them...search around there they have tons of LED stuff...i am going to do my interior dome and the cargo light next...i just put the leftover blue LED i had in the ash tray light and removed the light from the ash tray and tied it up under the dash so the light shines on the floor...it looks awesome...it really shows up on the blue parts i painted on my door...
looks pretty bright in that second pic but its not actually that bad...doesnt bother me on any passengers when im driving at night...
just need to get my cobra 29 chrome in there...blue LED display as well
