I put this on my headlight switch last night. It is the same one I ordered for my '15 Escape. It is polished stainless.

Put a little bling on the dash for a little money!

Hi Lisa,

I take it you removed the plastic bezel and now have a gap surrounding the switches, correct?

No. This is taped on top of the bezel. It is razor thin, so it is flush with the edges of the buttons.

Hi Lisa

Got it....it is the reflection of the chrome surround overlay that looks like a gap to expose the wiring behind the dash...

Thanks!
Best.

I hate the chrome that's randomly popping up in cars. WTF did anyone decide it was cool to put something that reflects sunlight all over the interior? If there was an easy way to get rid of all the shiny crap in the cab I'd do it in a heartbeat.

So, this switch will reflect somewhere? I have not seen a reflection issue with chrome vents.

I'd rather go with a matching shiny gray trim piece. There's really no chrome trim.

Hi Pete,

I believe it is just the camera angle Lisa used....Too low on the dash to reflect anything... Toying with the idea for both the Ranger and my MKX...same switch in each...
