So swapped out all my old peanut halogen bulbs with brighter more efficient LEDs today so much better visibilty inside is amazing now such a good upgrade, the small things! All hyper white and 4x4 selector and gear selector still dimmable in person is so much better pics don't do any justice but it's a fun little project to do on a day off

Wow! especially the shifter and 4x4 shift lights.. I bet they are really nice in person.

did you just buy an LED equivalent bulb and swap them? or was there some wiring to do?

There is a write up already with all the bulb codes he states 97 and up in it, I just got a few an going to see if they work in below 97, also in older models we don't even have floor lights.. And next time you take a pic try not to let your lil bro flick us off lol

My '92 has floor lights as well, probably because ours are laredos.

I've done some of this L.E.D. stuff also, totally worth it.

Find out what bulb it is for whatever your wanting to change to L.E.D. Most will just change right over. I did the floor lights, reading lights, and glove box light with just new bulbs. I also did the dome lights but couldn't find one locally that would just plug into the housing, so i went a different route by wiring in a 20 L.E.D. pad into each dome light. You could probably find one that would plug in with no modification by searching online. I haven't done the dash and shifter lights yet, but i do plan on it and will probably have to find those online.

I got the bulbs at a chrome shop for big rigs. The pads were from autozone.

Advance has a little 12" strip you can use for underneath the dash where the pedals are if you like a little light there.
