My new knob has wires coming out of it

[bluespit]

Now then......

So thanks to a fellow forum member I have a nice m-sport knob to replace my slightly standard silver SE one. The m-sport one has two wires which I assume are for leds but what do the plug into?

I assume I'll have to remove the gator and there may be some connector to plug into, is that correct

Car is an 04 3.0 SE

Thanks

the car isnt pre-wired for the illuminated knob- but the fag lighter illumination wiring if the nearest point you can use for it - sure theres many guides on here

Ok. Cheers. Looked for a how to but couldn't find one.

Ps. Bulb or led? Polarised?

As above.
Ashtray bulb or Hazzard light switch illumination (from memory).
You can poke the loose wires around until you find a suitable ignition-Live, then connect it up once you know itll work.
