I trimmed the holes for the parking lights a little to fit the 6" oval truck lights flange. Drilled some holes for the mounting screws, and then wired in the 3 prong truck plug and plugged them in.

So yesterday I wired up these led lights and decided (Once I was done. ) I need to move them.



Gio gave me the idea to put them next to the headlights. So I'll try that soon.

I would, but they don't bend that way very much.

For the rear defog, rear wiper, and rear hatch popper, I used these.

And for the foot well lights I used one of these in each.

I got regular ones for the HVAC, and the rest were all high power leds.

2 3mm Neo-wedge bulbs for the 2 front door locks.
3 #74 bulbs for the HVAC controls.
3 #74 bulbs for the 4x4 controls.
5 T10 bulbs for the gauges. (You might need 6 for 98+ years, I'm not sure.)
2 T10 bulbs for the footwell lights.
4 T10 bulbs for the map lights on 95-97s.
And festoon bulbs for the dome lights. I'm not sure on what size. (I just wired in 4 3w high powered leds in my dome light.)

On mine the rear door window controls don't have lights in them.
I think that's it.

There may be differences between the 95-97 and the 98+ years.
Yeah, the 95-97 had 5 in the gauge cluster and the 98+ has 6. Just confirming that. Also, the 98+ has a lot more room to take out the gauge cluster than the the 95-97. I had to smooth talk my cluster and make her happy before she would come out to exchange my tachless with a cluster with a tach and also to put leds in it. It was a pain getting it past the column shifter.

Yep, I remember talkin' you through your first time. Is it any easier to get the one with the tach out?

So today I took out my starter with some help from my dad and we took it to autozone only to find out it passed their test. While putting it back in, I noticed an exposed section of wire that was melted by the manifold. For now I just taped it off, until I have more money for a replacement.

On a better note, after having the batt. unhooked for about 2 hrs my ses light got reset, hopefully I won't see it again for awhile.

I must say it looks a ton better without one.

Yeah, I'd have to say it looks better without the ses light haha.

But unfortunately, it is just as hard with the tach than without the tach. That's just how the 95-97's are. For some reason the 98+ have more room to get the cluster out. Or on the other hand, if you have a stick, it is also easier. The column shifter can be a pain sometimes.
