Has anyone done the blacklight or green? Pretty sure the blacklight would be dimmer than the others & green is recommended by the super bright site.

Also, if anyone has done a full LED swap on a 96, did you need the new flasher &/or resistor?

I tried reading through this thread and found few things out, looking to do this on my Jeep. I have a 2001 XJ looking to do the cluster, HVAC, 4x4/Shifter. Thinking about doing a bright white or blue. Not sure what bulbs or sizes goes for what? Also for the foot lights, what size bulbs are those?

"I can confirm bulbs only for the 97-01 cherokees 5-#74's for the dash 2- #194's for the transfer case, and 4wd transfer case. 4 or 5? (depending on if you have a stock fog lamp switch) - Neowedge B (10mm) for the switches and HVAC"

This is from like page 3 of this thread. Can anybody read?

Yep, I didn't do the door switches and my XJ doesn't have the overhead trip computer.

Overhead display is an actually screen that's green. It isn't backlit. The doors have leds soldered into the board. I imagine you could solder in your own but I wasn't even able to open mine up to look
