Buttons....
Ok two questions, and both of them may be very stupid, and if they are, then flame me appropriately:
First off, i would like to take my dead, non functional buttons where things such as the TCS and hazard lights are, and use them for things such as my sub, and anything else i may come up with. Now I havent looked into it, but im assuming i could buy functional, blank buttons from a dealership, but how could i get them labeled to look stock, but to say "Sub" or somethin close to it, or where could i have this done? Also, what would i need to do to get them to illuminate when i turn theheadlights on, like the rest of the buttons.Anyone have any ideas?
Second, I know that with the interior upgrade package you can change your interior light colors.....but i want to change mine to red, everything that lights up green when i turn my headlights on, A/C *****, speedometer, everything, is this possible, or am i dreaming?
Thanks for all the help guys, and if these are stupid questions, sorry for wasting your time, and hope you had a good laugh.

Not sure you will find buttons labeled the way you want but if you currently have those buttons that are non functional then simply go by the correct functioning ones from Ford.

RE: Buttons....
+1 so would i, i used red for my instrument cluster, blue hurts my eyes at night. u can get everything to change w/ ur my color but that would be expensive. if ur only going for red tho, i think you can change the bulbs behind all the buttons to red. i dont think the buttos are tinted, but i may be wrong. let me know how this turns out for u.

RE: Buttons....
anything is possible -- I would call the dealer in your area and talk to them as far as how the dash comes apart to get to those bulbs... find out what they are then search for them in an alternate color (Red). Tell us how it comes out ~ J
