 Cheap phone camera does not do this justice. It's a deep blue.



Can't use this bezel though... it says auto and has rear wiper switch.

The one out of the project has the lighter hole busted, the lip that holds the lighter in. Was thinking a start button for a replacement.

 I'm doing a 5050 for the light switch also, it is MUCH easier than the 4wd switch.

BUGGMAN already sells a LED for the light switch that works fine, I have a green in my ex cab. The 5050 will be much brighter it is like having 3 LED's in one.

But for time savings I'm getting pods and fog light switch LED's from Buggman. You done with those yet Terry?? :)

Funny, you have a green truck with blue interior lights. I have a blue truck with green interior lights. Stereo is from my 99. I swapped it because I liked to use an old cassette CD adaptor to run my phone over the speakers. Use to play my music that way too. $20 cassette adaptor vs. a couple hundred for a new radio with bluetooth. I went old school of course. Blue lights hurt my eyes. I like green better.

 I went all green in the extended cab, wanted something different in the shorty. I like green better too but I have this killer cluster out of a 97 mountaineer natural blue. Hvac controls are blue too.

I went cheap on the head unit in my ex cab, works great but the controls are blue and you can't change the color like most of the new ones. I'll use that radio in the shorty and just use one of my stock ones for the ex cab.

Yours looks really good :)
