Just chiming in here, I just started this journey myself on my '06 quad cab 4wd. I ordered 8 B8.5D HPUV (purple/uv), the festoons for map/dome, and 5 WLED UVHP.
So far, I've just got the dash all apart, and the map/dome in. Map and dome are very, very dim compared to OEM. It doesn't provide enough light to work on the rest of this after dark lol.
I pulled the dash apart, and got the cluster out. I have 11 bulbs as well, not the claimed 5.
So, the B8.5D's do fit, at least for the most part. These lights are WAY more fragile than the OEM bulbs, and because I was using pliers rather than taking the rear cluster cover off, I accidentally forced a couple of these at a slight angle and they twisted badly, causing them to get off center. I figured since I already needed to order more and they cost about a dollar, I'd try to bend it back into place. Some I got, others didn't fare so well...
Anyway, as it stands I need to order a BUNCH of lights from superbright, but I've got a couple in and the dash all apart.
As you can see, it's not quite there. I'll update this as progress continues, including what lights actually fit vs which don't. I am going to order the NEOs for the HVAC, as well as the small SMDs (I think 3mm?) for the defrost and A/C lights in the HVAC, which require solder.
Anyway, I'll keep posting. If this isn't the proper place for this, mods, please let me know.
