    I’ve had my 2020 TRD SPORT for 2.5 months. My heater/vent control knob is difficult to read during daytime. It’s furthest to the right & it’s setting is basically out-of-sight. Nighttime is okay because knob is illuminated. Any suggestions?

    I had a similar problem, then I got multi-focal glasses. Re-discovered my instrument cluster.

    At least a couple of us have purchased these stars, cut the tips off of the stars and used them as indicators
    on the control. Helps quite a bit. You could also paint your indicator.
