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.

 

most leds have open air to vent to as well lol. These are stuck inside of a leather/metal shift **** lol.

 

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 ****

 

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?

 

I want to get one of these later this month! Looking into it now... *watches thread*

 

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.

 

Dammit, I wish I wouldnt of found this link, Ive always wanted the Illuminated Shifter and now that I found it... for $140... ugh...

 

OH... Just get it
