I fancied a nice illuminated gear knob & had already slpiced the 12 volt supply to my cigarette lighter when hard wiring my Bury CV9040 kit so the addition of an illuminated gear knob was a very easy & quick mod with great results.

Great looking product purchased from E Bay (Germany) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370253071281&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Spliced 12 volt lighter supply ready for soldering

In place & ready to secure to gear lever & connect 12 volt supply

Finally tighten gearknob to gear lever using allen key & replace covers



Final result a clean & crisp white glow

I'm guessing we are awaiting a couple more pics on this one ?
 
We need pics in the dark, make sure you take them in a remote layby so you can get arrested for exposure:D.
