operation: hit ‘em with the blue lights

there are a few scattered threads about changing interior light colors to blue. it seems the different years are set up different for certain lights. i’m trying to gather more info on what i’d need to switch everything over to blue. this is excluding the radio and dash cluster (for now).

hazard flasher button - t3 neo wedge led (confirmed works)

aux, diff and lsd - t3 neo wedge led (confirmed works)

climate dials - t4.2 neo wedge led (confirmed works)

climate labels - yeah, what a pain. not today.

a/c & circ - solder, 3mm 3v

temp compass - built into lcd screen (boo)

clock - plcc-2 leds (confirmed)

airbags, etc right of clock - 5mm 3.7v

driver window “auto” switch - solder

steering wheel controls - plcc-2 leds (confirmed)

shifter - custom led strips (confirmed)

 

here’s the aux switch light.


here’s the emergency flasher light.


here’s the hvac dial light.

 

my clock has a clear window so i’m guessing the orange color is actually inside the clock lcd display. same with temp/compass.

edit: there are diodes under the clock that can be changed out. no luck with the temp/compass.

 

blue leds installed. these were all easy. looks like i have some other lights out for my hvac labels.

 

Did you upgrade/swap out your hvac dials? They look like ones you'd find on a 3rd Gen.

removed the stock single bulb and laid a couple led strips.

 

Got a link to the blue LEDS on the A/C knobs?

Thanks

 

@cromag27 how did u access the bulbs to change for the diff etc. lights to the left of steering wheel ? Thanks Do these work on pre 2011 models? 2008 sport here. Havoc lights look the same as I changed

 

Mine looks the exact same way, but it bothers my OCD that the symbols don’t light up as much as the aftermarket disks. Has anyone found a truck for that?

 

switch out the controls for a 2.5 version. but then you have to custom wire a new harness. i have all the parts but lost motivation to complete it.

 

@cromag27 yeah it looks like a PIA, so I’ll just leave it dark.
I figured the panels would be plug n play.
