Let There Be Light! Illuminating the Delica L300 Window Switches
Mitsubishi tucked the power window switches in my 1994 Delica L300 into one of the darkest corners of the center console. Finding them at night has always been a guessing game! I finally installed a Sharpshooter Industries window switch backlighting kit to make them visible. Along the way, I'll also explain an earlier modification that lets me operate the windows without turning on the ignition and triggering the glow plugs' preheat cycle. Two little improvements that make the Five Billion Star Hotel a bit more convenient.

Four tires from 10 to 32 PSI in just over five minutes! Here's how it works and why I finally made the upgrade.
