Does anyone have a full list of the lamps needed for an LED conversion?
Specifically the white cargo lamps, and the reverse lamps?
I've been finding two things online. One says it is a T13, and the other a T15 LED lamp.
Thanks!

LED dash lights

Can anyone give me a brief description of how many LEDs can go behind the dash? I have been around the web and have yet to read how many or which ones you should or can change. Id like to know about the ac and standard radio w/ tape deck if anyone knows. Im new to all this and dont really want to be taking my dash apart just look. Also Iv been to superbrightleds.com and got a list of LEDs but they all still seem so different. The website also gives disclamers as to getting a 'wide angle' vs other types. Im not too picky I know im going to get the white ones but if anyone could just tell me what they did that would also be great. Thank you for being patient with my lack of experience.

I used this exact bulbs, haven't had an issue in over a yr now, i used some from autozone and had them blinking and going off, im 90% sure you will make it with 10 like i said its being over a year now but i believe it uses around 6 in the dash and 2 on the ac controls i used blue and looks great on the black ill try to put up a pic.

My credo
If you're not making mistakes, you're not learning.
Firstfordranger (and to some extent the O.P.),

I wrote this up a while ago for my instrument panel, didn't do the center radio and stuff.

I will warn you, the color film on the back of the cluster is actually BLUE, not green. I saw a thing about very lightly sanding the coloring off the back of the gauge faces but I don't have time to look right now.

ALSO, the smaller bulbs (#74), I'd consider leaving those alone or replacing them with regular bulbs. My battery and airbag light never quite go off. You can't see them during the day except when they flash when you turn the truck on, but they look like they're just on when at night. A few others are dimmer still, but you can see the outline at night. Drives me nuts...
