Plastic was from eBay. Maybe $7. The USB ports were around $10.
I did swap it with red.

Slightly off topic - but , have you used the aeroforce for identifying how much fuel you have in the tank?

Reason I want to know is if this gives better reading of fuel level than stock gauge. 🤔

I use mine to monitor fuel % from time to time and it is more accurate only because when it gets low the needle just kinda points to no mans land, I can tell you this, I ran it down to 5% one time out of necessity, I don't normally do that I usually try to fill up at around 1/2 tank or so but it still ran fine and acted normal so it appears it was right on. Of course any gauge is only as good as the sending unit and I happened to have a brand new one in at that time.
