Looks good. I did blue in mine. I also swapped all my dash lights to blue led as well. I like your green though.

How was the gauge lights? Solder in or just plug and play?

Plug and play. I bought some 20 SMD 194's of ebay. I did have to take a knife and open the hole up for the bulb a little to get them in. Even though my cluster has green plastic behind the gauges the super bright leds cast blue through it.

You're talking about oil filters - I was talking about oil and antifreeze but for filters, I use Wix.
I wouldn't run a Wix filter on my lawnmower. I don't see the point. Hell to save money why don't you run peanut oil in your engine too. That's about equivalent as a wix filter. Running fresh motor oil and a wix filter to save money is just redundant. No Offense.

You're entitled to feel that way but I don't recall asking for your opinion. Walmart doesn't sell Wix filters and it's not about saving money. Wix filters actually cost more than most filters. I never suggested that anyone has to do what I do. You can run whatever you want, on your lawnmower, on your vehicle, etc. With all due respect, you should stick to Walmart LEDs, it's your topic. My quote was in response to some else; not you.

But, out of curiosity, what does this part of you quote mean??

Hey guys, run what you want in your truck. Don't bicker about it.

Agreed. No need to get out of sorts.
I fully agree and I'm not out of sorts. I never said anyone has to do what I do and he's certainly entitled to his opinion but I was answering AgPete139. I'm just curious as to why the OP jumped in and took my statement to where he took it.
