A good buddy of mine Matt works on all kinds of vehicles specializing in 99-Present LSx based trucks doing anything from cam swaps, transmission installs, head swaps, header installs, LED swaps, and much much more.
Back in March I took a look at some of the LED stuff Matt was doing on a client’s gauge cluster and instantly thought that having blue LED’s in my truck would look pretty clean. The pictures below are from the clusters Matt did for SuperChargedSS of PerformanceTrucks.net
The itch got to me so finally we setup a time to do the install. There’s a rainbow of colors that are available for every type of vehicle. Some take much more time than others due to the use of surface-mount LEDs stock, but older models don’t utilize this type of LEDs making installation much quicker. I opted for the standard blue LED for all my controls and the cluster. I am very pleased with the results, and it gives my truck a unique look compared to others that I’ve seen. I’m sure soon everyone will have LEDs just like everyone has HIDs, but for now I’m one of the few at least haha.
Here’s another ‘06 with the same LED swap done, but with the factory radio done as well.
For anyone interested in doing LED swaps in their trucks/cars I’ll list Matt’s contact info below. He posts regularly on LS1Tech.com and PerformanceTrucks.net as TooTall.
