I've never seen it. Would have to drill a hole and jbweld a seat for a 194 socket. Wouldn't be hard. As long as there's room behind it, which I believe there's plenty.
Is the circled area just a blank? I keep seeing these with nothing in that spot, and I'd really like to have an amber, running light in that slot. Anyone ever done that, with any set of headlights?
I have seen it done on a set of tahoe lights.

I took my stock headlights apart enough to remove the amber corner. There is about 3/8"
between the inner plastic and the outer clear... could very easily drill a hole and stick an 18 or 25mm LED in there.

I found a CLEAN steering wheel in the junkyard last week, and I'm bullshitting on installing it. My steering wheel has scratches and scrapes all on it from my wedding ring scraping on it as I'm driving. I'm thinking about doing a write up when I do finally install it.

Please do not take this in an offensive manner: If you scratched up your current steering wheel sufficiently that you want to replace it, how are you going to keep its replacement from suffering the same fate?

It can be done. I'll explain EXACTLY how to do it. I helped my lil brother do this on a set of OBS tails many years ago, he wanted a "blank" area of the tail lights to light up with the brakes.
So here's what you need to do.
First you will need a rubber 194 socket, like on the end of the parking/turn signal lights. Or a plastic one with a rubber seal. I have pictures of both styles.
Then drill a hole where you want the light to mount. You will want to drill about a 5/16 or a 3/8 inch hole. Then use a sheet metal nibbler tool to "nibble" the sides of the hole you just drilled in order to end up with a "+" shaped hole for the socket to fit into and lock in. It will take some time, but it's totally doable. By the time you are done, it will be basically like factory. The rubber light socket locks in place like it's supposed to, and because it's rubber, it's sealed against the elements.

Because I don't wear the ring as often as I used to. I actually take it off most of the time now. Especially since I realized that it was damaging my steering wheel. I also take off when washing/detailing my truck because I don't want to accidentally scratch anything with it. It's a pretty "chunky" style ring, so it seems to get caught on shit a lot. LOL
Ditch the wife......lol.......your tearing up my truck. Get out.

Trans guy checked out the Hoe today. No hard codes stored. Drove around with the scanner hooked up and everything is good to go. Shifted great. Guess I'll see what happens.
