Another new mod! Lighted ZHP Knob

[Starscream]

Yes a little pointless to some people, But I'm not one of those people
I really liked the feature of the lighted shift knob on the M models, But the stock shifter is a little long and feels almost rubbery, Then I discovered the ZHP weighted shift knob,

Nice and heavy and the perfect height for the Z4 console but you loose the light feature and I personally think thats a really cool feature!
I mean c'mon how many cars have lighted shift knobs from the factory lol,

Anyway after a lot of drilling and sanding and swearing with the dremel and after breaking the led board (I blew one of the stock LED's, Instead of guessing I just replaced all 3 leds with the same color and it came out very stock looking)
But here is the final piece,






and at night,

Yes this could fit any model BMW, you would need a simple hookup for power to the shift knob as non M models are not pre-wired but it's very simple.

Its pretty easy to do, you need a dremel, a drill and a stock shift knob for the lighted parts.
Its a nice little weekend project, Just like those painted reflectors! did you ever get any paint from that place I showed you?

Just to add,
I have had numerous requests to make these for members,
Its a little consuming to make these and a lot can go wrong and totally ruin the shift knob,
I think I'm going to call it a day on making these,

Just bumping this thread to see if anyone here is interested in buying these lighted ZHP knobs,

Had a lot of requests and decided to give in to demand,

Anyone interested in one? (or two )lol

Ok answered all PM's,

I will have the ZHP's tomorrow and will start making them and having stock of pre-made lighted knobs
I'll also make a for sale thread with some new pics for people,
