I realize that, but initially only saw the front and what I thought was a second row- missed the third row...
Thanks- haven't heard back from him yet though.

The switch I found from the F-series trucks that has the extra pull-on switch for fog lights...
After a while it started to bug me that the LEDs inside of it are a different color than my dash lights.
So I pulled the switch apart to see if anything could be done. Sure enough, just some simple LEDs on a circuit board.
I hopped online to my favorite electronics site, found some green LEDs and today replaced the old with the new.
Now it's all better.

MG, I'm not sure if you've ever addressed your choice of 4WD conversions in this thread, but do you mind sharing why you chose Quadvan instead of U-Joint? I know Quadvan is local for us in Oregon, they use later model coil sprung axles, do not move the axle forward like UJ, and use electronic transfer cases.

I ordered my van new from the dealer and went with a Quadvan conversion because it was turn-key (and local). I picked up our van two days after our son was born and I was still travelling to China frequently for work so I had no time for piecing together something from Ujoint or making my own conversion parts.

One person's OCD is another's attention to detail.
This!!!!
PS--how are the LED's att'd to the board?

The circuit boards are manufactured using surface mount methods. The LEDs have to be de-soldered and gently lifted off the board (without pulling the solder pad and/or severing the trace). Putting the new ones back on is relatively easy if you have a steady hand. They're only 2.5mm x 3mm

Looking forward to big black getting finished in '16.
Maybe the lil' black sheep(ie white van) can get some love in 2017 then?
