Are you talking indicators or back light?
Backlight I want to say 8 if you do the heater control back light at the same time. Indicators....depends on how your truck is optioned and what year. If it didn't get gages it got idiot lights.

I am pretty sure there is no more then 10
(1) gauge (1) gauge (1) gauge (1) gauge (2) speedo (2) gas/tach (1) heater/ac (1) wiper control There may only be 8 though: (1) gauge (1) gauge (1) gauge (1) gauge (1) speedo (1) gas/tach (1) heater/ac (1) wiper control I do not think there is any less then 6 though: (1) two gauge (1) two gauge (1) speedo (1) gas/tach (1) heater/ac (1) wiper control I know this doesnt help much, but its something. Just buy 10 bulbs and be safe and maybe have some extra.

I have an extra gauge pod it has 9 spots on the back. This is for one with gauges and a brake light where some clocks are. Then the one more for the Heat/Air condition panel.
Might want to pickup a can of aluminum paint. If you take the gauge pod apart clean it up and paint it aluminum. It helped a lot with mine. You will need to remove the metal clips and circuit film. Its real easy, just takes time. I painted the inside of the plastic where the gauges go and the back of the gauges and the plastic piece that goes over the gauges.

Thanks for the info all!
I already did the AL paint trick ten years ago...........it really did help but it don't keep bulbs from blowing out. I ,in no way, want to take that thing apart just to replace a bulb or two as it is plastic and won't take many times taking it apart before it breaks. If I put in LEDS all at once.........I will never have to worry about it again. |

Some who have tried it said the LEDs dont sprea the light enough. I would consider the conversion. Let us know how it goes and get some pictures. We know you have a digital camera!

I doubt LED's will be bright enough. The way the bulbs are spaced out on these things really sucks. I don't have that problem now, well except for the heat/ac control panel. I'm going to do something to it. Haven't decided what yet.

I will post a pic or two when I get through it.
You are right that standard LEDS may not spread the light enough nor be bright enough but, There are several new LEDS out ($10 each!) that are VERY bright and spread the light pretty good. I waited for these to make it to the market for 2 years. They are finally out there! |
