- The lighting is not orange it's more of a red colour
- The M doesn't light up its just chrome, so only the gears light up

I say he did a very good job.
ALSO the connector works! Anyone in need of the connector for the shift knob you'll need:
TERMINAL CONNECTOR: 61 13 8 373 583
PIN CONTACT: 61 13 0 005 198 (remember you need to order 2 of these pin contacts)
Awesome. I ordered the ebay ZHP a couple of weeks ago, still waiting... I figured for $100 I can't go wrong and I'll put my time in other projects. It does look like doing it yourself will yield a little better light distribution, but to me, I just want it lit up and this is the cheapest solution for such a great shift knob...

Thanks for posting connector part numbers - where did you order it?
