I recently completed a much needed upgrade to my 4wd switch. I found a seller that offers a simple and relatively inexpensive solution. An led circuit board that is pretty much plug and play!
The board can be purchased here.

There are several different color combinations available. I chose the "stock" red, it matches the speedo needles, hazard button, and red on the A/C control temp selection exactly, it is a bit off of the amber in the dash however, I believe the seller has corrected this and has an exact match to the factory "orange", but the little bit of a difference doesn't bother me at all! I highly recommend this much needed upgrade to anyone. The truck should have come this way from the factory! The fit and finish of the board is top notch, install is simple and I couldn't be happier!
Here are some pic's of my install...

As a side note, I found it much easier to run the wire from the switch to the a/c controls by removing my stereo also. I just did not take a picture of this.

I T-tapped on the A/C controls. I tapped the red to green and white to green/white stripe, this enables the switch to light only when the marker or headlights are turned on, it also allows the switch to be dimmed with the rest of the dash lights via the dimmer switch.
Switch illuminated!!!! :smokin:
