    NetMonkey, are your LED's still lighting strong for you? I was thinking about using the same LED's for something in my truck, but I dont want to have to constantly replace them like some LED companies out there...

    Glad I found this. I'm doing my dash and 4x4 switch at the end of the month and will throw the cup holder light in as well now. Thanks for the info!

    Look under the "Mods and Tutorials" section above and look in the "cheap/free mods". It's a little involved but doable.

    Anyone know if the wiring is any different for the 2011's? I just got my 4x4 switch and I wanted to try to put this in sometime this week. Is it still the same color wires for power and ground?

    The foglight switch has a light... There's a few threads here that talk about changing it to an LED because the stock was a filament bulb and probably burned out
