purchases. E-bay is another great place to get clear corners as long as you
can wait for auctions to end. The regular clear corners had their sockets
designed around the 1997-1999 sockets which came with a soft rubber 4-prong
socket. Those of us with newer trucks have a rigid plastic 2-prong socket
that is not the same size, so APC threw in one of the soft sockets in case
you had to swap them out. Not really a design flaw on APC's part, it's
another one of those quirky Daimler-Chrysler part changes that I still can't
figure out why they did it except to massively screw the aftermarket
accessories market. BTW - The new diamond clears are designed around the
newer 2-prong rigid socket and don't come with any other wiring, I'm not
sure what older trucks need to do in order to make these lenses work
properly.

Neither company makes a gauge face for the 2000 model trucks which shipped
with a 7000rpm tachometer. I've seen a set of cheap indiglo gauges on e-bay
advertising the 2000/7000rpm combination, that would be the place to look.
I haven't been able to find the manufacturer or a regular link to put on my
website as of yet. Once I find a reliable source for these I'll add it to
my aftermarket accessories page.
