they wire into the ash tray light bulb, they are led. you would need to install a resistor inline. its not hard but like I said weeks ago. They are bright, and run warm.

Yep, what DocBeech said. I've noticed the shifter gets rather warm when my lights are on now. I find it a little strange since most LED's don't produce much heat.

I bought one of these a while ago...I forgot who posted the link originally. However, I just installed it this past weekend.

I love it. It goes well with the red RR-footwell lighting.

Its not so much that it is producing a lot of heat vs the fact that it is all contained heat that is sealed by the shifter. The dissapated energy has to go somewhere, and it is just going into the knobby ****

Good morning Larry.

Gear lever **** should be with us today, just to let you know it is the original part number you ordered, Mazda have mysteriously re instated part after telling us it was no longer available!!!!

Will ship today.
Will forward Tracker Number.

Just to be clear, that's part #FF37-V8-170-04. Dave did tell me a few times during our phone conversations that Mazda UK part ordering was a bit of a mess. I'm just crossing my fingers and waiting to see what shows up on my doorstep, hopefully next week sometime.

THIS IS FOR SERIES II **** FF37-V8-170-04

The part is no longer on the website. So I emailed them and was told no longer available.......

Anybody else have any suggestions where to look?

You have a S1. They should still be available. It's on their website.

I was just able to add the 04-08 Shift **** to my basket from the OP's link. I've got it saved, just waiting on monies! =D I wish the "passenger" billet foot rest wasn't for the (LEFT) side!!!

This guy has been good to us, getting these parts at 40% what everyone else wants, I'm glad you found it, and yes you have to order it off my link, for some reason its the only way it works lol.

I've been wanting another one of these since mine got broke by someone other then me twisting off the **** and not remembering it was the illuminated ****. Ripped the wires right out of it.

This is a great price. Can't wait to get it.
