First let me say HEY to everybody here since this is my first post.
I recently purchased a 99 Exp Eddie Bauer, 5.4 with 168,000 miles. I don't normally buy vehicles with that high of mileage, but it was a 1 owner (elderly couple) that has had every service done at a dealership, has a record of every service, and it's in exceptional mechanical shape.
However, it does have a few minor issues that I want to fix, and would like some help. I've researched a ton of this, but still have a few questions.
The digital odometer cuts out/in- I'm pretty sure it's a cold solder joint, and reasonably sure I can fix it.
A couple of the cluster lights are out- Going to replace them while I have the cluster out. I think the 194L bulbs fit ?? I'd like LEDs, but I read the LED bulbs turn the display blue. Can someone confirm this ?? I want to keep the green color.
Has anyone successfully installed an aftermarket screen display radio and kept the rest of the system stock ? Not looking to replace the factory amp, but just upgrade the speakers and sub, and keep the stock wiring. Hopefully there's a kit that has a harness that'll plug into the stock harness ?? I'll also likely install a backup camera in the future.
The backing is coming off the passenger mirror. Has anybody found a decent source for glass that has the heater and signal light ?? Can I just pop out the old glass/ backing plate, or is there another way to do it ?
As far as I can tell, that's all that's wrong with it. Thanks for the help !!!!
