As for the wire color it varies and I would have to look back at it but you can just test by grounding the one loose wire(black) and hooking the red one into random plugs with and without the lights and ignition on. I could come up with a better answer tomorrow as I need to get to bed now. I can't remember if the color changed from button pod to button pod (4x4 switch, wiper switch, etc.) _____________________________ -Lenny 4.3L Auto. 3.73Gears http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2358267 (in reply to drperry) Post #: 44

Where'd you get them from. I got mine on ebay from opto_gift_center. They were pretty good at getting them, otherwise I would try V-Led's. _____________________________ -Lenny 4.3L Auto. 3.73Gears http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2358267 (in reply to drperry) Post #: 46

The other thing is it depends on how you take the picture (the amount of shutter delay or just the way the camera takes pics at night). _____________________________ -Lenny 4.3L Auto. 3.73Gears http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2358267 (in reply to Zasder) Post #: 49

Maybe some of the LED's just stopped working... The right and left edges of my guages cluster are kinda dimmed... barely any light at all, lol. And it used to look like this: _____________________________ (in reply to lennyblazer) Post #: 54

Try tightening them up, otherwise I would replace them. Mine still look good and I have had them running for a couple months now. _____________________________ -Lenny 4.3L Auto. 3.73Gears http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2358267 (in reply to drperry) Post #: 55

For the rest, you're going to have to use loose LED's and glue them in place. _____________________________ (in reply to KIllarb634) Post #: 58
