I did a thing! Installed gloss black knobs (HVAC / climate control)

If you're gonna replace the climate control knobs might as well do the radio also.

Is the knob in the picture you show black or silver? Sometimes hard to tell with the reflection.

I also ask about the fitment since it fits the Accord Touring (and all hybrid Accords for that matter), yet my Accord Touring has no knobs on the info screen.

1. Download and save the files to your USB thumb drive.
2. Put your car into Accessory Mode, or you can turn it on for some A/C. (No judgement here.)
3. Insert the USB thumb drive into the USB slot in the center console.
4. Navigate to your vehicle's "Info Screen" and select "Clock".
5. Click on "Settings" in the top right-hand corner, then "Clock Faces". From here, you will see a screen with a preview of the clock and the preset wallpapers. Select "Add More".
6. Once you do that, the images that you downloaded should show up. Select the one(s) you want and select "Start Import". This may take a second or two to complete.
7. After the import has completed, it will go back to the Wallpaper settings. Scroll down to select the image, press "Set", and "Okay". This will set your new wallpaper.
9. You can change the clock type settings, but we think it looks the best with "Digital".
10. You're done! Play around with the settings to see what you like the most and enjoy!

Ok after looking around. I believe the knob is for the EX & LX trims with the smaller screen.

Are these part numbers for the left, middle, and right knob? Or are these for full sets?

These part numbers are for the individual knobs. There are a combination of part numbers for the knobs, just drop the part numbers in Google and go from there.

looks good, but ... I always find it funny, when a car comes with black mirrors people want them body color, when the rear wing comes black they want it body color, etc

I'm pretty sure some "base" Honda owners are already looking for HVAC control knobs with the silver finish

Or buy Type R’s to take the spoiler off and put a deck lid one stick with doble side tape

Are you going to order one to see if it is black? And if it fits?

May give it a test drive, at that price point it isn't terrible

@PNEUMA @Ph8ed4life

They're black except for the outer ring.

Looking slick! Thank you for sharing.

After (someday) doing this mod, my next question inevitably will be 'whats the difficulty of changing the white lighting of the climate itself to red?'.....

So I ordered this knob for the volume control and it came in today. It’s a slightly larger diameter than the stock knob.
I attempted to color the ring black like the other knobs. First I tried a black sharpie but it came out blackish purple. Removed that with some alcohol wipes then tried a black acrylic marker I had from this set. That did a better job than the sharpie.

I mainly use the steering wheel controls so I don’t think I’ll be handling it much. It’s not a glossy/shiny black like the other knobs, but it’s black.

@Phenom3030 Looks fantastic! The audio knob, it installed good and tight with no issue? When you say its a larger diameter, that doesn't affect the function or fitment? Just the appearance?

Great job touching up the silver ring as well.

Hell yes brother, I think more red is needed! I love the accent lights it has, but have always loved the vintage glow from the ITR/EM1 Civic clusters and HVACs, and I feel the additional red in the FL5 would be awesome. Honda had the idea with the cupholder and pull handle lighting, but I just cant shake the need for more.

Must be my old F&F ways coming out
