Question Black Dials
Does anyone know of a method to blacken the climate control dials? I am referencing the three dials across the middle under the infotainment screen. The middle one is already black but I am curious why Toyota did not make the left and right ones black too. Is there a sticker or an alternative method these can be black like the middle dial so they all match? Thanks.

Perhaps one of those Milwaukee construction sharpies they sell at Home Depot and places. Which I discovered are the most amazing permanent markers ever. And probably intricate use of yellow frog tape and an exacto knife, unless you can dissasemble the knob.

Edit: or are you talking about the color of a whole knob? In which case this would prob be super ghetto.

Thanks I will look into that but I did not want to take up surgery I already replaced the knobs with these AJT Design 4Runner Climate & Radio Knobs (2010-2022) — 4Runner Lifestyle If you look at the pictures they have of the full front console you will see what I am taking about. It is a small bother. Is just that having the knobs black and the dial silver looks a bit strange to me. It mat take some getting used to.

AJT makes black knobs for all five pieces. Two radio, three climate control.

Edit: You mean dials, not knobs. LOL, my bad!
