    I ordered extra sets on 01/05/17 and they will be here on Thursday (02/02/17).

    If you ordered them from Aliexpress and chose to create an account, you can track your shipment.

    The weird tracking # they give you translates to a USPS tracking # once in the states.

    A lot of members with a 15 have the exact opposite problem. I'm sure if you put a thread up looking for someone to trade your clock for a Tacoma version it wouldn't take long. You could also look around for/buy a 12-14 clock which is white in text and a little easier to read.

    I've been thinking about swapping my hazard section for the one with the clock for a while.

    But then finally decided to just keep the one that says Tacoma.

    If I ever do give it up, I want a white clock lol.

    I read that it's not a simple plug 'n play when switching the hazard/Tacoma piece for the hazard/clock piece.

    Anyone know if that's true?

    White clock is definitely the way to go especially with a white lit 4x4 switch. Sorry, not meaning to thread jack here.

    That is true. It requires two wires added to the plug from the radio harness. More info can be found here.

    You could just put a decal of @TegoTaco's profile picture over the clock @JadedTaco... Actually that would be more distracting than texting while driving haha

    here they are in all their glory.
    I forgot to take into consideration the stock incandescent bulbs are more yellowish.
    they match the factory blue in the temp dial perfectly when illuminated though.
    If i went back to a bright white led bulb in the panel im sure they would be spot on. I just haven't been satisfied with the led brightness in the control panels.
    I may just have to embrace the orange since this AC control panel blows for changeability with bulb types.

    Im going to try the 2nd set to match the red/orange in the ac control panel next.
    Updates will be coming.

    correct, blue food coloring.
    When mixed with mod podge creates a solid transparent coating of your color choice on clear objects.

    They slid on slightly easier than the factory ones, but don't slip around, or feel like they'll fall off when using them.
