    Well, just read all the pages, and am set. It's happening. I'm doing blue aswell, as all the electronics in my truck already glow blue. Ignition, dash cluster, automatic shifter cluster, glove box, and some kick panel lights will all be blue soon. Map lights, dome, and cargo lights are already blue. Thanks for all the tips guys. I'm hopping it will look good with my "limited" white Tacoma dash plate insted of the stock black.
    Any other quick interior mods I should do? Well not quick but cheep lol.

    You will like it. I replaced mine with blue LEDs a while back. I love the look. I also replaced the front marker lights with yellow LEDs and I like the way they look at night.

    Definitely going to give this a shot. Are these bulbs that I could probably get at an autozone or a pepboys?

    I doubt you can find these in a auto store, there very small and not a lot of people look for them. I just purchased all of the LEDs to do it. The dash kit and ignition light only cost me 30 bucks with shipping, and I got neon red paint for my needles. Should be sweet.

    I found 194 LEDs at a local auto parts store so they should be the right ones. Small to different people could mean different things.

    I'm talkin about the proper ones, for the right look you have toget the 194 SMD 360 degree wide angle LEDs. Or you will have bright spots on the dash like was said in recent posts

    Bone stock. For now.
    I did mine last night. As you can see it's pretty spotty. I, of course, didn't do my research and just picked some bulbs. So after doing some reading, and wasting some money :facepalm:I am ordering some more today.

    Also, I think I broke the circuit board on the ac panel on the far left side (Level Selector). Damnit!!

    Where did you get your bulbs from and what brand are they?
