International S1700-S1900 Switch Trim & ID Labels

Frequently Asked Questions About International S1700-S1900 Switch Trim & ID Labels

What exactly are switch trim and ID labels used for?

Switch trim panels are the decorative and functional pieces that surround the dash and switch openings in your International S1700-S1900, holding switches securely in place and giving the dash a finished look. ID labels are the small identifier plates or decals that indicate what each switch controls, such as headlights, wipers, or marker lights. Together, these parts restore both the appearance and usability of a worn or damaged dash panel.

Will these parts fit my specific International S1700 or S1900 model year?

These trim pieces and labels are designed to match the dash layout used in the International S1700-S1900 series, but exact fitment can vary slightly depending on the model year and how your cab was originally optioned. We recommend comparing the part dimensions and switch hole pattern against your existing trim before ordering, and reaching out to our team if you are unsure about a specific year or configuration.

What materials and finishes are available for the switch trim panels?

Switch trim panels are typically offered in durable plastic or metal construction, with finish options that may include woodgrain, chrome, or a simple painted or brushed look, depending on the original equipment style for your cab. Choosing a finish that matches your existing interior helps keep the dash looking factory-correct.

How do I install a replacement switch trim panel or ID label?

Most switch trim panels are held in place with clips or screws and can be removed by gently prying or unscrewing the old panel away from the dash, then disconnecting any switches before transferring them to the new trim. ID labels are usually adhesive-backed and simply peel and stick onto the switch or trim surface once the area is clean and dry. If your panel houses multiple switches, we recommend labeling or photographing the wiring before removal to make reassembly easier.

Can I replace just the ID labels without buying a full new trim panel?

Yes, if your trim panel itself is still in good condition but the labels are faded, missing, or illegible, you can often purchase replacement ID labels separately rather than replacing the entire panel. This is usually the more affordable option when the trim itself has held up but the printed lettering has worn away from years of use.
