The housing of the light isn't the same shade as the one on the LTD unfortunately (the LTD seems to have a darker, almost forest green color and is more opaque.) This might be from age however, so who knows? Other then that, the bulb in the original is also substantially brighter; you can actually see it lit up during the daytime. However, this one is fairly weak. Could probably get by with replacing the light with an LED since it's simply soldered in there. The housing does fit perfectly in the dash of a stock LTD and the parts are interchangeable between this light and the original present in the LTD's dashboard; so there's that going for it too!
