Not *ready* to be shipped, as I will be making them in the next 2 days and waiting for the LEDs to arive - but definitely ready to take orders. Pay now or later when they are made, it's your call.

No I haven't yet. I spent today starting on the 4-speeds. Tomorrow I'll be starting on the 5spds (a lot more than the 4's!); it'll take me at least 2 days to finish them and meanwhile I am also waiting for all the LED's to come in. My bad for the slight delay...

Its been a long day at work for me and im confused as to how this works. Does the new led have to be soldered? or will changing just the shift gate plastic thingy change the color?

I'm pretty sure the new LED you just plug in.
The shift thing is clear and it lights up whatever color LED bulb you put behind it.

Update~!

So I spent a good amount of time yesterday hunting for red & green tape or transparent plastic sheets at a couple arts & crafts store as well as Walmart in hopes of using that to create a red glow for 'P' + 'N' and green glow for 'D.' Unforunately... no luck finding anything. Sorry to those who were anticipating for the multi-colored versions. But if anyone knows where I can find those... do let me know~

I have finished about 12 indicators so far... and the shipment of LED's just arrived earlier today so I can start packing & get them shipped out on Monday to the first 12 people who have paid. I'll also be making more tomorrow. Apologies for the slight delay ... Tomorrow I'll post exactly which 12 members are getting them on this first shipment.

Also, I've found a decent solution to the the hotspot problem. I applied 4 layers of Matte tape under just the letter 'D.' This helps diffuse the light much more evenly (you cannot see the tip of the bulb like before), although if you look closely, it still glows slightly brighter than the other letters. I did try wetsanding as OntarioTL suggested, but the results are very similar to the matte tape... so I thought the tape would be easier to apply (& add additional) for myself as well as other members who are bothered the initial hotspot.



This isn't hotspot related but I would like to let you guys know that I now clear coat all the indicators so that the paint wouldn't chip off as easily and it creates a nice finish.

One last thing, the prices of the indicators will be going up a bit on Tuesday ($17.50 and $20.00, respectively)... so those who are sitting on the fence... get it in the next 3 days! I will PM astroboy and update the first post of the thread with the new prices and some additional info (on hotspot semi-fix, new pictures, etc.) soon.
