Dammm! I just checked the weather here in Houston. On that day it was 97 degrees. One extreme to the other....

It just came to me... if I was buried in snow, I would need a compass to find my way out, too.:giggle:

Search "Gentex" on ebay. That will give you a good idea of the options available. Stay away from the OnStar ones, as there isn't much you can do with those buttons without gutting the circuit board they attach to. Another nice option is getting one with HomeLink on it along with all the other stuff.

I took a stroll through a local yard yesterday and I couldn't find any old Lincolns, the newer ones with a sunroof had no map lights. Lots of GM already had the mirror gone and most of the others had no maps lights. I tried to find one with onstar and map lights cause I figured I could use the onstar to find out the weather and which direction I was traveling. I found a 2002 era Monte SS with the auto dim with map lights so I grabbed that one with the wiring for $10......:)

I hope you also grabbed the mirror mount off the windshield since some of the later models use a different size than ours.

that one doesn't have map lights, the reason I like map lights is with t tops I have no dome light so in the front all I have is the foot well lights. I starting to think to pass up on the temp/compass cause none of the ones I have seen have map lights.

I think probably the best one to look for is what came in the Camaro/Firebird fourth gen t-top equipped cars. They're windshield mount, day/Night, simple units
