Truckin's LED Retrofits

[TruckinAint4Sissie]

Starting my own retrofit page here.
Just compiling all my old work and will edit all this out.

Here's an instrument Cluster that was in my '98 Chevy


First in the world to successfully actually light up the top Blank reflector (Chevy again)

What are you retrofitting? Are you planning on becoming a sponsor for the forum? Will you be focusing on just 5th gens?

I typically retrofit instrument Clusters. For example the 88-98 Chevy/GMC truck's cluster needles never light-up from the factory so I threw some LED's behind them

I've also swapped out current LED colors and whatnot.
I'll post more as I have the time (drive big rig 12 hrs a day).

Are you planning on becoming a sponsor for the forum?

No. Just to help out fellow members

Will you be focusing on just 5th gens?

Yes. That's the only generation I own, but could apply to other generations as well.

Still not clear on what services you can offer. The instrument cluster is already back lit.

I genuinely want to know what you plan on retrofitting into the 5th gens. In your photos you have done GM dashes and side markers.

I'm not trying to be a douche, I seriously would like to know what you bring to the table because it does sound interesting. It would be cool to see what you've done to your personal 5th gen.

I'm not offering any services. Just some background info on what I've fine in the past.

I've only owned my 4Runner for a few weeks. I'll probably make some custom lights for all the interior/exterior lighting, rather than just replacement led bulbs.

Gotcha! Cool, I'm interested to see what creative options you come up with.

A friend of mine, who doesn't visit this page often, made rear passenger reading lights on the C-pillar. Basically, just flush mounted some red leds so that they were aimed at the respective rear passenger's lap.

Red is good for reading and it doesn't create glare for passengers, I have those in my Freightliner. Good idea
