    This is where you tap when you install these lighted shifters I have done this mod twice now, the first time on my first ZHP and then on my current ZHP... never had any issues.

    Will, I took blauzed out for a drive this morning and can say I did not notice any difference between my OEM ZHP shift knob and my new F10 M5 shift knob. To me they both felt the same regarding weight and feel except now I will have a lit shift knob whereas with the OEM ZHP shift knob I won't.

    EDIT: I took blauzed out for a longer drive to the post office and back. The new F10 M5 shift knob feels great.

    Thx for the info, very cool. Does it light up which gear it's in too, or just an overall light?

    Ah, nice. I didn't know the ZHP knob was unlit (mine's AT).

    My Mystic Adventure...

    This afternoon I tapped into the ash tray wiring for my lit shift knob retrofit.


    Heat shrink has been put in place and ready for the heat gun to seal...in the pic below, you can see the ash tray plug (black) and my shift knob plug (teal)


    next thing to do is to connect the shift knob to the modded wiring to make sure everything works.


    It was bright outside but I could see the lighting work so later when it gets dark, I will take a few pictures showing the final result... for now, I finished everything and put everything back together.






    Like my ZHP before this one, I have a lit shift knob just like how I have it in my M3

    I got the additional wiring to tap into my ash tray lighting wiring from here:
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-BMW...e/302109127027



    and I got the OEM plug to use from FCP Euro and here's the link to the plug I used:
    https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...mw-61132360043



    Once I got everything, doing this retrofit the way I have outlined it here on this post, this retrofit was permanent and OEMish and fairly easy to do

    Once you have this I’m sure you will be very happy with it. It adds a very nice touch to the car in my opinion
