Radio bezel -swap st/ranger possible?

[JFIGUEREDO]

Does anuone knows if the radio bezel in the Ranger will fit the ST? Has anybody tried?

 

[frankcal]

Yeah theyre the same bezel, just make sure it has the same control and switch openings.

Thank you Frankcal,
The Ranger's bezel has three buttons to the right, whrere the my factory bezel has only two.
The ebay seller has indicated that the plugs will still connect and that I will have an extra "dumy" switch. I will keep you all posted.

You can use the extra switch for an extra set of fog light, back up lights, etc....

That second picture is actually a bezel from a 2nd Gen Explorer (notice the rear defrost switch and rear wiper switch).

I made a double switch bezel swap thread on this very thing, lol. Check it out.

Exactly!
This I what i wanted to do when i saw the extra switch.
I have aftermarket foglights already working, but the aftermarket switch they provided is cheap looking. I'd like to use the extra oem switch to power the new fogs, but i don't know how to do it. Don't know which color goes where.
I have pics of my oem switch and the also the aftermarket switch.
Can you please guide me as to connect the wiring? It'd be nice if can get the back lit switch to work
Thank you!

Backlit Buttons

Guys, I think I burned the small light bulbs that light up the knobs and buttons in the radio bezel. The one that illuminate the fog light button and the one that illuminates the rear window control knob : where can I get them?
Please advise
Thank you!

I had a couple burned out on mine already so I just took them from the other bezel. If the others are dead and you don't have any spares you can get them cheap off eBay or other places. Do a forum search for blue l.e.d. gauge lights and it'll have the part numbers and links where to get them. Sorry I'm on my phone right now and don't have the links available.
