    Good morning all.
    I thought this was a very cool mod that was in the middle of another thread and decided to consolidate info in one spot.

    I purchased these knobs via some info per @ChadsPride and @JadedTaco in this thread.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/feeler-interest-gauge-for-12-15-blackout-interior-parts.449999/



    Here is the link to the item
    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/fre...32759839980.html?spm=2114.30010308.0.0.CeEULc




    Here is what they look like before and after in a 2005. I ordered 2 sets so i can try to change the color of the ring and see how it comes out. Im leaning towards blue to match stereo buttons, foot well leds and 4x4 switch.

    Later 2nd gens will not have a color lighting match issue like the earlier 2nd gen as seen.

    later 2nd gen per @JadedTaco perfect match

    Happy modding.

    Can you post two more pictures?

    1. Not dark - daylight.
    2. Close up of knobs to get a better view of the clearances.


    3. The link doesn't take you to the item - Only to the aliexpress website.

    Really interested in this, but the AliExpress URL isn't pulling an item up for me.

    No problem, I ordered a set but it hasn't arrived yet. I'm not a big fan of aliexpress for lack of PayPal acceptance with the vendors.

    sounds good tome I order a lot from ebay especially from china, always a lot cheaper to cut the middle man. I have never use aliexpress so I think am going thru ebay as well about to order mine.

    Best close up pic I have at the moment.

    I tried to include a direct link to the knobs, but it didn't work. If I knew they were available on eBay, I would have probably purchased my extra set there in lieu of Aliexpress. I don't like overseas vendors without Paypal.
