Here is an OEM switch (wear) vs. a climarepair switch (new). If you look closely you will see they match font and size 100% (for some reason we have been on the market for 9 years now...):

Another rennlist member posted this picture, where you can also compare his old, OEM switches vs. the just installed, climarepair ones



Again, perfect matching.

this looks very good for the price, but like another poster mentioned the font is off compared to factory oem. it wont bother some, but the climacair ones do look more factory imho.

I never really noticed the difference in Font.
I'm a big advocate for keeping cars original when it comes to aesthetics - The Font difference is so subtle it is still hard for me to notice even with the close up photos.
Nobody will EVER notice the difference unless a Concours Judge or RL Member with magnifying glass visits.

Whatever the case, in the past I have purchased 3 pair of TEMP-FAN switches from ClimaRepair and always been happy with their product.

Paying $35.99 and receiving them next day was a plus for me so that's the route I took.

That did strike me as looking off as well. The fan icon in particular is too small vs the factory one. This is how the Climarepair ones look like on mine. I guess not bad for the price you got though.

I’m curious too to see what went wrong with them. smadill, Can you post a photo of them? I’ve had mine for 3 years now and they still look like new.

I purchased these off amazon in August, so far - so good. I've been very pleased with them.

.
The Temp switch has the colour so thin that at night the backlight comes through and a section flaked off. Been quizzed about using hand lotion or similar, although I don’t use these things as the original issue was more than likely due to their use. Received an email from Climarepair yesterday, previous emails were in junk folder apparently. Most people seem happy but in my case there is an issue.
