Shifter Light...

same as the one that is in the gauge cluster. but i wouldnt do that mod. i have it on my tl and it only lights up D5. the rest of them are very dull, the oem bulb is brighter.

^ I makes D5 brighter than the rest. But if you want, it's a 74 bulb.

u can also drill some 3/16" or 1/4" holes in the plastic for more leds, it would be kinda like what ppl are doing with the gauge clusters so they dont have hot spots. id do a diy on it but dont need it. and its cold outside. so i dont feel like doing anything.

Thats what I thought at first too, but then I put the clear plastic piece back in and its bright everywhere now.

The 3 led one works good. Just make sure to put some tissue paper underneath the d4 or d5 so you don't get a hotspot. Other than that it lights up proportional and looks good.
Also since the led is taller than the original bulb you need to move the bulb holder down but turning it and pushing it down, but make sure it doesn't go all the way down other wise the bulb holder will be all flimsy.
