Glad you all like the results! It wasn’t a terribly expensive or difficult job! About $140 for the six switches and a good part of three days to finally get it all hooked up correctly. Well worth the $$ and time to me!

My question:
Are the illuminated Contura V rockers a simple “plug...
So, it’s been about two years since the last response on this thread. Has anyone installed the illuminated rockers that are discussed here? I think I have Contura II rockers installed now on my 2017 24SSRX but I would love to change to the V to have illuminated switches. Would this even work as...
