LED dash lights are a nice upgrade, I've done it on a few trucks. But you will also want to consider that your original dimmer switch will no longer work with this upgrade. LED's require very little power, they will operate at the same brightness over a wide range of voltages. If you want to be able to dim your LED dash lights you will need to use a PWM (Pulse Wave Modulation) type dimmer.
