Light switch looks different

[jsbihn]

Hey all
I have been looking at the light switch in my rig for a while and it just doesnt look right.
Doesnt seem to match the rest of the interior.
This is the light switch for the exterior lights and also has the roller for the interior lights.

Basically what I am getting at is the interior switches and such seem to have a slight bluish hue mixed into the white part of the switch.....
My light switch doesnt have that bluish hue, but seems more tannish. The actually switch looks like it might have been replaced since it is completely different. It is very apparent when you look at the wiper switch and really shows different when the lights are on and the back lights show through.

I am just curious.... is everyone elses light switch like this? Is this normal? Or is it possible that the switch was replaced and it isnt the right one?

If you need pictures I am sure I can provide them
Let me know
thanks

Could be the light bulbs were replaced and the blue covers were not used. I have been replacing any bulbs that go out and try to reuse the covers. I tore one and it only covered half the bulb and now I notice that it's a different color.

That would possibly be the reason. When I swapped every bulb in my truck to LED every filament type bulb had those covers. However the odd thing is the 4x4 buttons and tow/TC buttons actually have a blue tinted lens. Even with white LED's the switches are all slightly blue and drastically different than all the bright white I have everywhere else.

LJ, thats what I am saying.

I am not talking about the lights at all.
I am talking about the white areas on the switches (yes these white areas light up when the lights are on, but even without the lights on you can see a difference in the white)

I might have to take a picture for you guys to see

Yeah snap a pic for us to see, I'm curious to what they look like. I'm half tempted to say the tannish color may just be dirt from over the years. Some of the lenses can really turn to junk and look horrible if they are regularly used. Between dirt, finger oils, sweat, etc it can really make those areas nasty. I know when I bought mine, my steering wheel buttons light up literally brown they were so disgusting!

jsbihn - mine 03 is exactly as yours. It does look out of place.
