    Any plans to make them OE sized so the lights aren't blocked?

    Is it possible that it's a headlights on/off related light (instrument light) versus a radio on light? Just curious.

    Yup! The light bar over the knobs is controlled by the headlight sensor on the right side of your dash. Take something dark and cover the sensor, turn on your headlights and ta-da! you will be amazed (well at least you will see the light!)

    Unfortunately I already have a bunch of the knurled pieces made up so this is the size they're going to be.

    got mine and switched them out last night. Excellent! they fit really well and make adjustments much easier than the small shallow OEM knobs.

    My answer to that is.... he said if you look at it straight on... how often do you drive like that? He did say that from his driving position, he COULD see them.... so I'm going with that! ;):D

    EDIT: Cause I like my knobs knurly.

    Hey Rex.
    What I don't understand is that with such a great product, and even within this thread, you were not able to to gain more than 50 posts.... I didn't get hondo's because of their diameter, but it looks like your replacements would work great with my screen protector!
    You really should starting to reply to people here (legit posts), so you could post on Buy/Sell/Trade forum!!
