Snob did the silver one just stick right on top of the wood one? What was the installation like?

No...nothing like that at all.

The Silver bezel is the WHOLE dash piece.
It has a silver (very) glossy finish on it.

There are two philipps screws at the bottom (underneath) of the bezel. Take those out.

Then pull up on the bezel towards you and then it unsnaps. (It's clipped into the dash)
Then unplug all the electrical harnesses and it's free from the dash.

The silver bezel came with the passenger airbag light on the top (between the vents), the 2 vents, the tiny light & the power outlet already installed on it.

I just had to swap over the the two little cubby holes (where 4x4 switch would be on a 4x4 & the passenger airbag on/off switch that would be on a Club Cab). Those were held in place by 2 screws each.

I can't remember if the HVAC (A/C-heat) controls were attached to the bezel or the dash though....but if they were attached to the bezel then I just swapped them to the new bezel. Like I said...I can't remember though. It was over 2 months ago.


Very simple to do, and looks 1,000,000 times better than the woodgrain bezel!


I'll get a pic of my old (woodgrain) bezel later this week & post it to show what the bezel looks like & what is all attached to it (if you bought the silver one). The only difference will be the color (woodgrain instead of silver).

So what are you guys doing with your wood grain bezel after you replace it with the silver one? If you want to get rid of it let me know. Thanks

I'm just gonna keep my wood bezel and then put it back on when I turn the truck in

Then I'll sell the silver bezel when the truck is gone

I am going to get rid of my wood bezel since it is no longer needed. Are you looking for one?

I was thinking about switching to a wood bezel. What would you be asking for your bezel shipped to Pa?

Here's a pic of my (old) woodgrain bezel.....this is how my silver one came, except for the color. Just wanted to show everything that is included.

Because I swapped everything from the woodgrain bezel to the silver bezel, obviously.

I labeled one of the pictures as well...check 'em out:
