Default how to achieve 2008 Lariat/FX4 chrome climate control buttons

Just as the title states, where can I get the chrome climate buttons that came on most 2008 FX4/Lariats? Google turned up not a thing. Would prefer to not buy a replacement digital climate panel as they aren't anywhere near cheap for just gaining a couple chrome ring buttons.

Anyone have one and want the non chrome version? Perhaps a trade could be arranged.

I've never heard of chrome buttons for the interior of '04-'08 F150's from the factory... I'm sure you can get them aftermarket though....

I mean the OEM chrome buttons that came on most high end 2008 models, seen here.



I am planning to buy a chrome buttoned OEM audiophile radio to replace my damaged audiophile one. Just want to complete the look.

My bad... Should have read that slower... I didn't know you were talking about the auto A/C controls...

I just sold a non-chromed out unit for $20 on ebay... I'm sure you can find one... It'll just take some searching (and luck)

I did not realize they ever came with chrome rings like that, my 07 FX4 luxury does not have them.

Yes. As I mentioned most 2008s have them. I suppose they just did it for a final hoo-rah for the 2008 body. I have studied that 2008 FX4 Lux, Lariat, Lariat Limited, King Ranch, Harley Davidson have chrome ring radios & climate panels. Also Expeditions, Mustangs, Explorers, Lincoln vehicles, many have these also. I just want the chrome climate buttons as I have radio buttons.

I have found a few online but I don't want to spend over a hundred bucks.

If anyone has the chrome buttons & an aftermarket headunit, and don't like how they look together, I will gladly swap!

My dash.

The chrome surrounds for the heat and fan speed are from Harley Davidson F150.
