Has anyone come up with a good mod to replace the housing with something decent looking?

The stock Map Light housing looks HORRIBLE

I just can't get over how bad it looks, why would you do that Ford!?!?

 

I've never really thought the light housing looked cheap. Not sure what you mean. However I'm never looking at the map housing, since I'm always driving!

 

I'm with Ben, I don't think it looks bad either.

 

It doesn't seem to 'fit' as well in the convertible as the coupe. But wow, that's the least of my worries.

 

The plastic covering the inside of the A-pillar also looks a lot better on the coupe. OTOH, the map light housing on the S197 is a big improvement over the swivel map light on the Fox Mustangs.

 

I like the whole retro look of the interior. It's basic old school.

 

You can't really modify it yourself, if you have the AAT option, since that is where the sensors are for the Anti-Intrusion Alarm are located. If you don't have the AAT, there's nothing there.

 

I don't think it looks that bad

 

I've been meaning to look around for some sort of lights to put in the back of the car. The front lights do a decent job of lighting things up, but the back seat and front footwells need a little something.

 

I have led switches in my Ranger for auxilary lights and stereo equipment. They're brighter than I thought they would be... how much light do you really need in the foot well? A simple flat switch only connected to power and grounded for the light may be all you need. You can see two of them to the right of the headunit above the stock fog switch. There is also one down by the cupholder that is always on and is the one that lights my footwell (not it's purpose, and also not a flush mount switch)

Cover it in suede........along with your a-pillars and top window frame. Maybe in Black???

 

Take it from Mr. Expensive Interior Guy. He knows what hes talkin bout

 

Now I'm "Mr. send his cam covers to Pensacola, and not get them back guy" Aggggghhh, just had to vent.......

On this topic, now I'm thinking about doing my dash in black suede???

 

How 'bout a pic of the latest Blue and White Beauty?

 

Dude, look at the WHOLE interior. "Cheap" is the order of the day.

 

I'd have to roll her out of the garage....agggghhh

Not mine, but I stumbled across it one day. Only time I've ever seen this piece modded.

 

i dont know what they were thinking...........it looks worse.......

 

The nicest thing I can say about that is "It's Unique"

 

It IS unique. Looks like a good job too. Where did the power outlet go?
