The total cost was under $2.00, with the bulb costing around $1.87 (or .97), from the dealership. Took me about five mintues to replace it, only because I was taking pictures of the install (
). If you have a floor shifter, and think that the bulb is out then this is a great mod, for a great price.

Might work. Get some self etching primer and lightly coat them first until you get an even coat. Then spray the krylon over. Should turn out great. Best of luck to ya.

Awesome! AC Vent louvers popped right out. Just primed the outer rings white with RustOleum
Painters Touch for Plastic. I have a silver F150 so gona paint them Metallic aluminum. Pic's to follow. Was going to buy the Chrome rings from ford but had to buy the whole Vent assembly. $48.00 apiece! Don't think so....
