    Good morning fellow Taco enthusiasts! I saw an old post about a month ago for some AC Switch Knobs, clicked the link, and BAM. Nothing. I guess the link had expired or something but I received a set from eBay that cost me just under $13.00 with FREE SHIPPING!!!
    The link is posted below. One thing I was questioning was the quality of the knobs since they were only $12.29, but the knobs are heavy for their size and are full aluminum on the sides and the frame (if that's what you call it).

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Air-Con...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

    I will post pictures as soon as I get in my truck after class and then a couple night pictures once the sun goes down.

    I bought the set of 4 for like 9 bucks a few months ago. They were the craze of the month around June, I think.

    Yah, I got mine off of ebay... shipping took a little longer than I expected but I like them pretty well, mine are a bit sloppy so I put a piece of duct tape on the shaft and then slipped the knob on, worked pretty well.

    They're backlit from factory. Factory knobs just have a different transparent area.
