I would trade with you but the whole interior has pieces like that. And it matches my seats that have black leather and grey inserts.

Teach - Where did you get that switch from? Since it looks that good I think I may have to put it there instead, that looks really slick. What did you have to do to wire it into the cigarette lighter like that?

That is the switch that came with the cutout. To wire it up I pulled the lighter housing out, cut the wires off the back of it, wired it up to the switch and then put the switch into the housing (it fits perfectly). Then I put the whole assembly back in where it started.

Alright so I take it that was fairly easy to get the wires for the switch routed to the back side of the cig lighter then. Im going to have to check it out tonight or tomorrow night.

Yes, it was very easy. I think the hardest part was getting the housing out of the dash without marking up the dash.
