Did you still put the individual leds too or just the strip?

I guess you would have to put them in too to light up the needles...

I wonder if there are pics of the strips he installed? hmmmmmmm

Midnyteryder196 · Jan 25, 2015

I don't think he used the individual leds.. He did txt me earlier and asked if they would still light up if he took regular bulbs out.. So I'm assuming that's what he did..

dmanns67 · Jan 25, 2015

I has been debating doing LEDs. Has anyone ever put LEDs in the steering wheel controls?

Aarkon · Jan 25, 2015

Nope just two 2 15inch led strips and dave mine are done in the tb all that will be left tonight is the steering wheel controls

I've seen it in the early pages of the LED mod thread I thought

Midnyteryder196 · Jan 25, 2015

They are kinda a pain in the ass to get hooked back up,being there isn't much harness.. But it's just like soldering any other led mod in the truck..

Stewzer55 · Jan 25, 2015

Getting a little bit of snow, gonna be 4x4 time for me, I can only hope. :popcorn:

I have replaced all four buttons after the lights burnt out. Biggest PITA. If the wiring was longer it would not have been a big deal. I never want to mess with those again.

I agree for sure! A pick helps for sure but it still took me maybe 5-10 min per switch to get back in.. Lol

BlazingTrails · Jan 25, 2015

shit looks awesome, i am looking for some strips now

Getting them out was not bad. I did remove the air bag just in case. I probably spent 15-20 min on each trying to put them back in. Ridiculous.

Yep that job sucked, did my friends in his Sierra and I was hoping they lned up and connect as you push the button back in, not enough slack in the wires. Couple of mine are out but occasionally they come back on :crazy:

They lasted 7 years so hopefully I am good. If they burn out again, I will leave them.

Midnyteryder196 · Jan 25, 2015

I've thought about taking mine back out and switching to smd's instead of leds.. Lol

Capote · Jan 25, 2015

Bleep bloop

dmanns67 · Jan 25, 2015

You would think all the lighting would have been LEDs to begin with. Save from all of the pain.

I have read other threads on the OS where members said that they went to the stealership and was told they had to buy an entire new steering wheel :blinkhuh:

Maybe because no one wants to go through the a$$ pain :undecided:

Capote · Jan 25, 2015

Bleep bleep boop

dmanns67 · Jan 25, 2015

Getting away from poop now :raspberry:

If they go out again, you might have a literal entry in the crush it thread.

Project moved to front porch, painting has resumed.

BlazingTrails · Jan 25, 2015

Sweet. If they do burn out, LEDs might be the next step. Until then, they will not be touched.

I was just busting your balls, did not think it would turn into such a "big deal". Does not matter to me, its just another non-value added thread.

BlazingTrails · Jan 25, 2015

I just feel really stupid when I do that......

Mounce · Jan 25, 2015

Confusion, mass confusion.

Midnyteryder196 · Jan 25, 2015

I agree.. Lost me.. Haha
