Default SS Inserts billit AC ***** w/ light

Anyone used these before, thinking of getting them and the radio controls tomorrow. Also, does the light work for a 2001?

Thank you,
Ray

Ray, I have the full set in my 01 vert. They look great. The green lens on the passenger side temp control does allow light through although not as bright as in the picture.

Only problem I've had recently is I can't seem to push down the radio control **** to turn it on/off. It worked fine when I installed it about 3 months ago but now no matter how hard I push it won't work. Not sure if it's the ***** causing it or the radio controls have gone bad, maybe I just need to adjust it. Not a big deal since I have the window valet to power on/off.

Also, your dog is a cool character, can you get him to wink at the ladies?
