Default One more l.e.d.

I bought a new shift **** and noticed it was kind of opaque so I wondered If a l.e.d would light it up. Sure enough it did!! Took my shifter shaft off and it was already drilled most of the way down. I had to drill it a little more and drill a small hole to bring the wire out below the shift boot.



I used a 5 mm red led and siliconed it in place. Wired it into my select ride panel so it comes on when the lights are on.



I think its done now. No more mods.

The final result.

Cool. Unique idea.

Gives new meaning to the term "hot rod".

I knew when I posted I would get some haters. Doesnt matter to me! Pull up next to me at a night cruise in and lets see who gets some attention and great comments. Oh yeah, And can you wire my car for $$$? Since I own a l.e.d business I show people what can be done with a little imagination. Its also a great way to meet the gals!!

Calm down killer and I'm sure any girl would be attracted to a glowing *****, even some guys would be to but it's your car. You posted on a public forum so know you where gonna get different comments some good some bad what did you expect? Maybe your next mod should be thicker skin.

As I said in my post, comments like yours are exactly what I expected from the thin skinned.

Yeah, you got mad game. For the record, I don't even want to talk to a girl who thinks a glowing shift **** is cool. LOL!

As long as you dig it, more power to you. It's your car. Personally, I will add glowing shift ***** to the huge list of cheesy Vette mods, which include taillight louvers, chrome fender cove fins, stick-on fake Z06 brake ducts, airbrushed hood liner murals, and wannabe Lambo doors.
