Let me know what pic you want in a higher res. and I will try and get it for you.

I purchased all my lights from superbrightleds.com. Here is a list of everything I bought.

WLED-B-120 for the main dash cluster(Qty 6)

RL3-B2030 for fog light switch indicator (Qty 1)

RL5-B2545 for head and fog light switchs (Qty 2)

74-B for HVAC controls (Qty 2)

B8.5D-B Cruise control (Qty 2)

You will also need some resistors, which you can purchase at radioshack.

Here are a few how to's I followed in doing the conversion.

Never seen your truck before. But I must say, I love it. EVERYTHING looks awesome. One question though. I've looked at the Avic for my truck, but everything says it will not fit in an 08 Ranger. Did you have to do something custom to install it?

You have to shave down the radio opening in the bezel a tiny bit. That was for the older Avic D3, I don't know about the new one.

93's still had the exact same dash as the one i have right, if so it is possible all you would need is the leds i listed earlier in the thread

We require 6x 194 LEDs (I believe they also coincide with part number 164 . . .) and sanding the transparent paint from the back of the cluster. I did it to mine but haven't figured out how to do the HVAC sheet as the black is painted on, unlike the gauges.

mudranger96 - You wouldn't happen to have pictures of mounting/installing the AVIC would you? I need some pictures/ideas of securing my F700BT. Your truck looks great BTW.
