F-250 Dash/Interior Lights

Nice setup. I always liked white.

I'm with adding a switch.

This doesn't solve your problem directly, Put a red light in the dome light... It will be less
startling and won't blind you. Mom's Mercury has the lighting controls but neither Dad's ranger nor my F350 have them. Neither truck has the premium trim options though.

its brand new ask the dealer to show you

I think that on my parents '99 E350 van you can push in and turn the door switch (in the doorjamb), this makes it so that it doesn't pop out and keeps the light from turning on for that door. you can do this for each door that you want to keep the lights off for, might be worth looking in the manual to see if yours does the same.

The red bulb not a bad idea--just like the red lens in those Army flashlights. I suppose there are red bulbs to fit??

 

[ScottAR]

Depending on bulb number... Yes. At least one that will fit and work.

With it being a new truck I wasn't really looking at making modifications, I guess I'm just a little disappointed with it not having that feature.

Did they force you to buy it.. or did you buy it voulentarilly?????

It had or lacked whatever features when you wrote the check.. kind hard on ford for you to be disappointed that it doesn't have something AFTER THE FACT.

Easy now, no need to get nasty over something so simple.

You are correct, I bought the truck voluntarily and I'd buy it again; with or without the ability to shut off the interior light. Something so small was not on my checklist, especially since EVERY vehicle I've ever driven had that feature; just like a steering wheel and tires. I'm a Ford guy, so I'm not attacking them but another example would be: On my 1993 and 1998 Ford Explorers, the roof rack cross bars had small rubber strips on them. The small rubber strip provided some grip when you would place an item up there before strapping it down. You could place a ladder up there without it sliding off while you took your time strapping it down. After buying my 2005 Explorer I placed a ladder up there only to have it start to slide off (almost scratching the paint on a new vehicle) because the cross bars no longer had rubber strips on them. I really liked the vehicle and got many good miles out of it, but I was a little disappointed with Ford's design change.

Have a safe weekend.

You will be seeing option deletes right and left. My farmer buddy just bought a 08 Dmax 4x4. He was disappointed to find out they remove the pto from the Allison. He read it only save something like $5 per truck but it adds up. He had plans for that pto to run a pump but to add it back will cost major $$$$. He now wishes he had his 05 back.
