Ok as usual Im on another kick to stand out. I love blue and had this idea. Im changing everything in cab to blue LED. Ive already got footwells done with LED pucks I found that have 4 LED's in em each. Looks great. Everything else including gauge cluster in on order.

Now my question is.... I have off my A/C control panel from the dash and am looking at the lights inside. They are soldered into the circuit board which means I will have to do LED's separately. Thats fine but I need to know what wattage are those bulbs in there and then whats the formula to figure out what LEDs I need and so on. I just didnt know if they were stepped down somewhere or indeed they are actually 12V. Maybe Im way off hell I dont know...just know what I want to do and thats it. Lol. It WILL get completed somehow.

Also...thanks Maxx for the insight on my bulbs in the cluster....guess I would have seen that today anyhow when I pulled it. Its all ordered...noone around here knows what a damn LED is :mad2:
