Shifter knob lights??

[Halby94]

This is probably a really stupid question but i was wondering if anyone has ever seen or heard of someone making the gear numbers on their shifter glow or light up like the dashboard panels. I just thought itd be really cool if someones done it. Thanks

I've thought about it in the past, but it would be a lot of work. You'd have to remove the indicator plate and somehow remover the white plastic without destroying the black plastic. Then mix up a batch of epoxy with just a bit of white paint so it is translucent and pour it in. Getting the wire up would be a pain since these trucks don't have a full rubber boot all the way to the knob, o that would be another obstacle, then there is making space under the indicator plate to fit the LEDs. (I wouldn't bother with incandescent lamps after all that work.)

Yea that sounds way over my skill level lol but it would be really cool to look at i think.
