If I wanna upgrade to 01-04 center console does it have to be from a convertible GT?

Convertible switch goes in front of the cup holder where the coin holder is. The fog light switch goes in the radio bezel under the radio. While youre at it you mind as well switch the radio bezel to the 01+ one and move the fog light switch up. If you dont want to move the defrost button with the rest of them you could get a button delete that came on the Bullitts for that one.

Oh, but my 99 came with the older style radio slot and dash piece that has no bezel. My rear window defroster button is on the left side of my dash near the headlight knob.

^^^I know. What im saying is if youre going to swap center consoles, you're going to have to swap the radio bezel to the double din one found on 01+ cars or drill another hole and dremel it to fit the fog light switch in.

It would probably be too much work to swap the bezel over and rewire all the switches so id make a new hole for the fog light next to the convertible top switch.
 
I see. I wonder if I could just leave all the dash & stereo stuff the same and relocate my fog light switch to the shifter bezel between the traction control and the cigarette lighter and then just use the single switch on the 01+ center console for the convertible top button.

FYI, the reason I wanna do this is because I bought heated seat elements and need a place to put the buttons, which there is none on the 99 center console, but they'd fit perfectly on either side of the switch on the 01+ console.
 
It will bolt in just fine. You'll have to move your covertible top switch to the coin holder's place and you will have to do something about the fog light switch. You can get the dash piece with the double din radio from the 01+ cars and have the fog switch there, but I think you have to fab a bracket for the radio to sit on. I've seen conversions before on various forums.
 
so if you want to relocate the fog light switch from the 99 center console to the radio bezel on the 01-04 you'll have to rewire? the new fog light button doesn't have the same plug in on the back?
