I'll be putting in the new lights for the gauges tonight...

[My_1st_Stang]

and putting a new odometer gear since I'll have it all taken apart. I'll post pics of the results when I'm done.

Did you go with LEDs or regular bulbs?

 

[My_1st_Stang]

I'm going with LED's...

Just like the ones described in the "How To" write up. Can't wait to get home and get crackin'...No pun intended...lol

I'm a little nervous but know the end result will be great.

 

[My_1st_Stang]

Gottr' done boys and girls...

Finished a little later than I wanted. Too many interuptions...

All in all my actual working time to do both the lights and the odometer gear was about an hour and a half. Bottom line is that it looks freekn' awesome.

I was too tired to take pics last night so I'll try and do it this evening. Now I need to tackle the A/C controls and change out those lights.

I'll take them tonight for sure. Actually I went with the cool white and it ends up looking blue when it's all said and done.

Looks great. I bought some LEDs a while back, but the car is still in storage.
You used white bulbs, correct?
Why didn't you do the ac/heater LEDs as well? Or do you want want them to match the stocker radio?

You got it...I used the "Cool White" instead of the "Warm White" bulbs. I still have the a/c but didn't have the tool or the time to get them done at the same time. I have the bulbs for the a/c controls and it's my goal for this week.

You dont really need any special tool to pull the radio.
4 small screwdrivers/allenwrenches will work. Evn 2 pieces of bent coat hanger.
Just a heads up

I use four 8 penny nails, but coat hanger pieces would also work. Just stick them in the 4 holes that are on the sides of the radio (2 each side) press them to the outside a bit and pull, simple as that. You can also buy a Ford radio puller at the parts store if you like.

 

[Midnight_Cobra]

I used a metal coat hanger and well.

[98cobradan]

what are the part numbers for the led's, and how much were they?

 

[My_1st_Stang]

I paid $4.00 a pop from Superbrightleds.com. I can't remember the part number off hand but it tells you exactly what to order in the link.

Also the superbright sight has a chart detailing what you may want or need.

I found these on eBay and they seem to be the same.
