Backlighting solution for the 4x4 knob

[emelianenkov]

Hey! I have good news for all of you who have been frustrated by the inability to properly backlight the 4WD switches when we swap the colors of everything else in our trucks!

I'm currently working with http://www.tacoma4x4.com to create an easy, plug and play way to evenly backlight the 4WD knob.

Within the next few days I'll be finding a way to modify and wire his Tacoma product to fit inside of our 4WD knobs, and then beta test it to make sure it does it's job properly. There will be some modification to your knob necessary, so I am offering a mail-in service to add this mod to your truck!

Here are some photos of his items in the Tacoma 4WD switch:

And here is the switch in my truck!

Thanks for looking!

Great mod, can't wait to pick one of these up. Will you offer green less as an option? Thanks!

I can! I will have to change the LEDs out. There is also intensive trimming required to install it, that's why I'm offering people to shop their 4x4 knob to me so I can modify, install and solder the board in.

You have an idea on what the price will be?

Not sure as of yet. I'm gonna ballpark $50. Which is actually a pretty good deal, seeing what you gain!
