I need a 2wd dash bezel that includes the cutout for the fog light switch. The attached photo should show the correct part clearly. Most of the 2wd bezels don't have a fog light switch, so it's been a pain to find one. My V8 conversion involves a manual transfer case, so the 4wd switch is becoming a useless part.

If you've got one in good condition, shoot me a picture for reference.
Thanks!

Break it right the first time. Fix it better the next time.
Yeah that one is a fun one to find. I am guessing you have search the local junk yards?

Actually no. So far I've just been keeping an eye on eBay. Can't seem to get over to a junkyard right now. I'm taking tomorrow off to work on the truck. One of my neighbors must not appreciate the Ranger and Explorer sitting in my driveway and clearly inoperable. Need to do a little work to make things look a bit more under control.

Also got the engine parts back on Monday. Hoping to get that thrown together this weekend at the latest.

I live on 20 acres and only thing you can see is trees. Its nice. I went to the junkyard last Friday and bought a set of 99 expo 2 dr seats and console for 75 dollars. I got them installed and they look good. I can go back to the junkyard and look for a bezel they just got a bunch of new rangers in two weeks ago.

Slowly working on convincing my wife to let me build a detached garage. That would have sped this project up immensely. Between rain, bad weather, early sunset, and a 3 year old, it pretty well stalled out over the winter.

If you have time to look around the junkyard, that would be great. I'm not in a rush - it's not like the current switch will cause problems. Just seems superfluous.

By the way - I've still got the '99 donor in my driveway. Need anything out of it?

I really cannot think of anything else I need right now. I needed some seats but I found those. Did it have a set for torque monster headers on it? I would love those :D. I called Bob today over at tmh and he is selling the gaskets, nuts, bolts, egr pipe, and headers for around 950 shipped. He told me with my setup I should see around 22-24 mpg, and 25+hp 35+ tq
with them. It is awfully tempting. I would pay for the headers in a couple of years in fuel savings.

I haven't forgot about you. I have been busy working on the driveway. I am going to try for later this week or next week to go yarding. I need a couple of things anyways.

can you use one from a two-wheel drive and just cut out the bezel to fit your fog light switch.
Edit: the reason why I ask is because I got a two-wheel drive bezel without the switch for free and good shape I'll post a pic soon

I've seen a few of these on eBay over the last few days. Used one was about $50 but a few new ones as well, albeit pretty expensive.

I found one with the fog light switch today but it had a hole drilled in it for a toggle switch and the 12v rubber plug was broken off. But I did find this 2wd one today in great shape. Best part they gave it to me for free.If you don't want it I will put it in my truck. :headbang:

Doing things wrong, until I get it right.
I have two. My 2wd ranger edge came with fog lights. I have a black one that has a little damage, A pin is broke off of the backside. Also have one that I painted white, its in about the same condition. I cant post pics on TRS, but I can text you a pic of thm if you want, 8504919054 is my number. text me if you want the pics and when I can i'll send you a picture of them both.

Ranger850, do you know what year the bezel you sold me came out of? I just discovered that the vent section is narrower than the one on my '99 so I can't transfer the vents over.
