rjOlds Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 Thank you very much, and payment sent. Now I just have to put my poor car back together again. It was looking nice, now it is a mess with most of the interior torn up for the HUD and some (what you would think were minor) stereo upgrades. Quote
j_mezz Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Posted August 19, 2011 Hey RJ, caught the post office before they closed so they're on their way! Quote
GOT2B GM Posted August 20, 2011 Report Posted August 20, 2011 finally installed my switches this week along with the led lights . A++++ Quote

At the rate I am getting my car back together, I will likely receive them before I put the bar back together. Quote
rjOlds Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 Package received, parts installed, looks great. The lens freaked me out trying to get it back in though, the plastic has become VERY brittle and as I gave it a gentle, and I mean gentle push at one end to reseat it, the end of the plastic started to spiderweb. Not visible, but anyone else doing this should be really careful with it. Also, when you take the trim off of the roll bar I would strongly suggest pushing the bottom up against the metal before you screw the top down and don't try and tighten it too much as you could break off the fiber posts in the bottom trim if you use the screws to pull it up. Just sayin'. Thanks a lot for the effort on getting these parts made! Quote
Top Down Man Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 j_mezz said: I successfully lobbied the original manufacturer of dome light switches to re-manufacture some switches for me. I ordered a couple of hundred and they just showed up today. $8 a pair plus shipping ($2.50). It's probably just my cars they broke on, right? I'll post a picture tomorrow night. 7/28/11 update - Acting on a tip from another W-bodier I picked up some LED bulbs that fit right into the original housing. These eliminate the heat buildup that causes the switches to go bad. I can provide a set of 4 for $12. I would very much like to buy a set of the switches and set of 4 LED lights if I can please email me with the info on how boglebd@msn.com Bruce thanks. Quote
BrianK82 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 I'm interested in two switches and four led bulbs. Hit me up with an email at Brian10182@sbcglobal.net with the specifics and I'll paypal you the cash. Thanks!! Quote
BrianK82 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 jim, sent paypal Fri. night. Thanks. Quote

Tell me how to order them, and I'll send you a check. PayPals fine, if I can still remember how to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL! Quote
GOT2B GM Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 I like a quote on 2 switches, and 10 LED bulbs, shipped to N2E 3V5 Thanks Quote
Aron Nance Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 Would like to buy the two switches and the LED bulbs; how do it do it???????????????????????????? Quote
j_mezz Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) Got2beGM - $30 for 10 bulbs, $8 for 2 switches, and lets say $3 for shipping + so $41. Aron, They're the switches that go behind the rubber cover. I don't have the rubber covers, but a set of the 2 switches and 4 bulbs is $22.50 ($8+$12+$2.50). You can paypal me at mezz@benris.com, or shoot me an email at that address for my mailing address. Edited September 21, 2011 by j_mezz Quote
rjOlds Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 By the way, I didn't notice if anyone else mentioned this, but the bulb in the back of the console is the same type. Although changing it is sort of superfluous since having the overheads changed provides way more illumination than before, it does reduce the amount of heat generated in that area and of course makes all the lights in the back of the car the same colour. If you do change this bulb, be careful when taking the lens out of the unit (accessed by removing the console insert), as mine was VERY tight. Quote
j_mezz Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Posted September 21, 2011 Oh, cool. Thanks for mentioning that RJ, I've haven't had to replace one of those yet (knocks wood)! Quote

j_mezz Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Posted September 24, 2011 Hey Aron, just a heads up, I've been checking my paypal account and I haven't seen your payment hit yet... Quote
BrianK82 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 Got my switches in successfully. Like the LED glow. Now I need to change the other bulbs to LED. Does anyone know off the top of their heads what bulb numbers are in the footwells and in the mirror? Thanks. Quote
