ZHP Gear Knob - Illumination Mod - Incomplete
Posted: Wed Apr 25, 2012 10:28 am
In the words of Top Gear "How hard can it be?"
This is just a 'Try to' at the moment but who knows it might develop into a 'How to' .
So far I've removed the insert with no damage whatsoever so the point of no return hasn't yet been reached and I've got some orange, red and amber 3mm LEDs on the way. What I really need to know is what the inside of an illuminated M gear knob looks like - how many LEDs and where placed etc.
Getting the insert out was quite easy. I used one of my wife's nail thingys as it was sharp but flat and rounded if you know what I mean. Just press the thingy firmly down between the insert and the leather. Then lever out the insert and you'll feel the double side sticky tape start to give.
Once the LEDs arrive I'll see what they look like through the insert and match the colour to the existing lighting but in the meantime if anyone knows what the inside of an illuminated M knob looks like it would be a great help.
