Default Buttons! Where to get them?

I'm looking to utilize the 2 blank buttons to the left of the climate control on the dash of my D2. I've circled in red the buttons I'm talking about... where can I buy these?



I know Expedition Exchange has the buttons that go at the bottom of the cluster on either side of the gauges, but they want $65 for them!

The Overland Rover Chop Shop in Glasgow, Kentucky has all kinds of stuff all the time. I have them as a favorite seller on my ebay. Haven't bought anything from them, so I don't know how their customer service is, but.... again, they have all kinds of stuff!

Here's what you need, plus a LOT more at a fraction of what you'd pay Expedition Exchange for just the buttons...

Cheers!

Sweet I am certainly saving that down. Thanks.

Question tho; what is the button on the lower left? I don't have that on my '03 SE. Also my gas button is on the dash by my front and rear fog buttons.

On my '01, that is the button that used to inflate the rear air suspension for off-road use.

Of course it is duh - what was I thinking. Sorry mine doesn't have the air so I always forget about that.

most switches are $13-16 from the dealer. I just bought an aux light switch for $15.

cool... thanks! I wonder if I could use the buttons in that cluster for the front and rear defroster to run the auxiliary lighting I want to mount. I can polish off the defroster indicator markings and just leave them blank... Anyone know what the back side of these things looks like? Is it as simple as wires/tabs to connect to?

I'd have to see what the switches are rated for amperage-wise, but the lights I'm going to run only draw about 5 amps each and there will be 2 per switch (one for 2 spots, one for 2 floods). I have to believe that the front and rear defrosters draw at least 10 amps!

All of the buttons on a LR are simple on/off switches.
So if you want to run aux lighting on the brush bar you can use a fog light button for example.
Urban Panzer has a nice write up on this.

So my point is that you can use any button you want to run anything you want.
