im eventually doing this to my 94. the gerenal idea would be the same. remove screws from the bezel, unplug anything hooked on it, undo the screws holding in the cluster, etc.. ive never dicked with my 94 though so ill take pics when i do it.

I just started doing this to my 95, and ran into a snag. You will need to order twist locks if you do this. The bulbs I pulled out were PC194 and PC161, those bulbs have a micro-welded lead attached to the twist lock and are designed in such a way that removing the bulb and replacing it is impossible. I had a spare lying around and I belive the 90 degree viewing angle is the best for this app.

good thread, definately going to do this to my 88, I also would like to know how many LED's to order and if i will need twist locks or not, I have never had the bezel out of the truck so i dont have a clue. Also my truck is Red and has factory red interior, what do yall think about red LED's in my truck?
