Here's a pic of the socket from above.  The face is the black strip at the bottom.


To find a new faceplate, just get the whole unit at the junkyard and swap them or use the whole unit.  or if it's expensive, take the faceplate off of one in the junkyard and just buy that.

The bulb is the same as the ones in the instrument cluster, the little blade looking ones.

Just to clarify, i was the one asking about the face plate. But yeah my unit works, but the face has that crack going across it that these trucks sometimes get. Although i really do only need the face plate, i don't see any way to get another face plate without getting a whole new unit.
