Looking for headlight switch and center console cup holder. Also need cockpit temp up/down arrow button replacement. Anyone know where to get these. I saw the ones on e-bay but they are from Hong Kong and I'm not sure. I could use the directions for installation on these items to.
thanks

The center cupholder is commonly found on eBay(the Hong Kong source) and you won't find a much better deal for a new unit. I ordered one from them and it arrived perfect.....so I'd recommend that route.
If your sleeve that holds the cupholder isn't broken, you should be able to pull on the two small tabs at the very front of the cupholder (looking down inside) and then pull it up and out. The new replacement will slide right in....this is probably easier to understand once you look at the replacement so you can get an idea of how it works. If your sleeve is broken, your only choice is to take out the entire center console.....but there have been numerous writeups on that on the forum so if it comes down to that just use the search function to find them.
As to the temp up/down buttons - I have NEVER found a source that is willing to sell just those two buttons. Your only option is to buy the entire climate control unit, which on the used market can run upwards of $200 - 250. Another option is to simply paint your buttons to make them look better, but I've never found a matching "rubberized"paint that is exactly perfect. Wish I could help you more on this one, but I've got the peeling paint problem on my buttons from the previous owner and as of yet I have never found an easy way of correcting it.
I own an interior reconditioning Manufacturing company. We manufacture the graphics needed to repair stereos, AC units and door consoles The cost is low to repair and it is permanent. We are selling to over 80 technicians who do these repairs daily for dealers. We are just now introducing these repair graphics to the public on our ebay store for those who would like to do it themselves. As part of the listing for each set of graphics we have a link to a youtube video showing how to do the process. Check out our ebay store here: http://stores.ebay.com/IW-GRAPHICS
