Is there anyone out there that can tell me what kind of LED's i need to do the dash, hvac, window switches, 4x4 selector and all of that? Do I need regular 3mm with resistors or like the dome led style or what? i have been searching and can't find a write up anywhere or at least bulb types.

Check out this thread and start reading http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=203522 I'm getting ready to do the same thing.
thanks man, i actually already did all of this last weekend. i ordered a hole mess of 3mm and 5mm leds. i have the radio, hvac, gauge cluster, and 4x4 selector all done. just have to conquer the window switches and door locks now. the only difficulty i had at all was getting the polarity.
luckly mine are just bulbs that easily can be swapped out and i can get a bunch of stuff from US speedo 
but the lights for the buttons and stuff id be interested in swapping out

yeah i had to use 470 resistors in the factory stereo, 4x4 selector, hvac, gauge cluster, and steering wheel controls.
the window switches are leds, and they have proper resistors installed already so i just unsoldered the factory leds and put in my own.
the one piece of advice i will give to anyone is to just go ahead and use all 3mm replacements. don't use the 5mm because they shine a different color. i had to go back into the gauge cluster and redo the whole thing with 3mm so that it and the hvac would match the stereo and steering wheel. i will take a couple of pics tonight and post them on here.
i personally used superbrightleds.com
and you will need 2 360 degree view angle bulbs for the 4x4 selector because it uses plastic to disperse the light.
