Does the lighted lighter require a different bezel? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I picked up an OEM lighted cig lighter assembly from a friend locally but I see in the LMC catalog, which also shows a lighted unit, that two different bezels were used.

I have no idea if the two different units are related to having a lighted lighter or not, but there's not a lot of room for light to shine through the one I have (admittedly have not tried yet, so that's just based on looking at it).

a) So, does anyone know the deal on the two different bezels? Doesn't seem year-based in the catalog.

b) Does anyone know the background story on these? I've never seen lighted lighter on a SPID. Optional? Sierra Grande only? Why do some have them and others not?

Thanks!
Dave

Dealer accessory (possible RPO?) with bezel the same as the non-lighted example.

I thought that a lighted lighter was a good idea too but, unfortunately that lighter that lmc sells is junk. Mine ended up in the trash and the original went back in. Don't waste your money.

Reread your post. Missed that you got an OEM one.

i dunno if this helps but this is the one I got from brothers and it's been working fine since I got it 6 months ago. It would not fit right without this chrome ring (bezel?) it is backlit when I have the headlights on. It came with the bezel.
