Nice. My vent controls are screwed up (stuck on full heat, but fan control works). I could go in there and fix them but then I could buy one of those NOS HVAC setups like you did and gain the A/C side... but I am not interested in dealing with A/C right now. From the looks of yours, do you think I could install it but keep the A/C lines plugged and just use it for heat? Then deal with A/C maybe some other time?

They made a couple different versions.

I am sure you could just leave the AC plugged, which is what I plan to do.

Depending on when you need your heat, I'll be removing mine and I don't think I'll be replacing it with a military system. Mine just has heat. Works great though.

I appear to be one cover short to the party. Multiple problems with this panel though.
One, it was in a sealed container and is missing a cover.
two, regular switches with the cool logos etc, are all two small to fit the openings.
three, winch harness did not come with switches.. just covers for the cables which do not have switches.. what do the switches look like that are supposed to go in these holes?

Put in led bulbs in my tail lights today. Turn signals and running lights. Was pretty happy to have those brighter bulbs in there.

Did you switch to the LED taillights, or did you just use off the shelf LED bulbs in the incandescent taillight housings?

I just bought led bulbs off the shelf. Perfect fit.

Any flasher issues? Did you have to change that?

No problems. Just plugged right in and flashed normal. Weirdest looking led I have ever seen. I think it has resisters built into it.

Video above and pictures of the package. I like how the color is red so if the glass gets broke it is still red. They have clear ones for the front too.

I've wondered about those bulbs. They are designed to be used in a housing with a reflector, which is why the LED actually faces back. I hesitated to buy them, thinking they wouldn't project enough light toward traffic.

They are roughly 10 times brighter than stock.

could add some reflective silver tape to the back inside of the housing?
