Not exactly OEM match but a decent enough placeholder until I have the time to match it perfectly.

Did you ever get this button to look OEM?

Swapped my 2-button FCIM for a 3-Button, so I can add a switch for Tailgate release and Rear bumper LED Pods. Bought the Motorcraft SW-7721 switch , sanded off the OEM logo. Used Colorbond #338 Spray Paint. Designed the new logos and had this guy laser engraved them on the switch.






Fabricated this DIY module consisting of: a small plastic enclosure, a PCB connector and a single channel self-latching relay board. The Ford Switches are momentary style and I needed a latching signal for my LED Pods
