Light up 1-6 gear shift ****?
Anyone know where I can find one?
My OEM one is all beat to hell and I think the light up one will be cool
I searched but only found pics. If someone can point me in the right direction that would be cool.
Thanks,
-Gil

Hey Dom, careful with the illuminated shift ****.
Early on they had major issues with the wires getting pulled apart and what not about the life of the thing.
Look for a member named Polak. He has a mod for it to make it better.
Changing it to blue is possible i believe.
Keep us posted when you decide to do it.

^Thanks for the heads up mang. You know I was thinking about just getting it. But not installing it. I know sounds odd right?, But the OEM one I have right now is all chipped up from the pre-ower ring(s), Yeah a chick had the car lol
I dont know. Its a lot to spend and just let it sit but its so cool. I must have it.

Wind Dance is right, but I think they changed the wires and made them a lot better, the are still fragile and you need to be careful.
Also, Polak did do a DIY of sorts(I believe) on changing the color in there. I'll see if I can find it and link and post it back here for ya. Not sure it was an actual DIY, but he explained it with pictures.

Found at least a couple of the old threads.

Anybody thinking about this should read through these threads(They aren't that long).
One actually kind of talks about changing the color or boosting/repairing the wiring if need be.
