Yeah I think it was 02-04 though. Am I the only one running halogens in everything?

Anyways, someone help me pick out some gauges. I need to order tonight.
52mm Black outer, must be able to illuminate green. No mechanical FP gauges.

Where could I happen to find one? And would it plug right into my truck if I did get one?

Also, I know it's off topic for this thread but I know you guys are knowledgable enough to help me get an answer. But since my truck has the light grey/faded silver trim around my rear window like other 97s and 98s, would I be able to swap in a rear window trim surround from a 99-03 truck that's dark grey like the lower valance and bed caps?

Ebay for a aftermarket L third brake light. On the window trim that is a no. You will have to get a newer rear window. Just mask it up and paint it with Duplicolor Bumper Paint.

Alright cool. As far as the window, what if I replaced the whole assembly? That'll work right? And how come you could put the slider from a 97/98 in with the trim from a 99-03?

The assemblies use the same mounting flange, but you just cant swap the trim. the frames themselves are slightly different. I tried.

When do you need it. I can get him to drop it off at my house.


Once I get this thing done, I am working on similar side project.
