Well hereis the Ricest Gearknob and for $19.95 !!

Ok Its a Blue Neon tube installed into a Gear knob..It is 12V supply.
It comes with a Cigarette lighter Plug but I chopped it off and then Wired it up to the Cigarette lighters wiring.. I fed the Wire down through the Gera bag and underneath the Centre column to the back of the Cigarette Lighter..
There is enough wire not to mess with Gear changing...
It has its own switch , on/off
It feels good to change gears with.

Down side....

It sits Way high on the original gear shift thread.. So now it feels like you are changing in a Monster truck..
It is held on by 3 short allen key threads so it is prone to spin if not tightened properly.
It will not work well with the Standard gear bag as you have to pull the aftermarket ones up so it doesn't show bare gear stick.

I have attached a Day time and night time
Let me know what you think

worst color clashes if you did that >.<. for bugundy cars... id say.. perhaps red.. in fact i think red would be the only color that would have the slightest chance of working with maroon. perhaps even super white .

hehe or be like me, and by million color undercar kit, so u can test diff colors out :P

Looks pretty cool, sits a bit high as has been said, besides that i dont think it's too bad.

At least now you'll have no problems finding your knob in the dark...

Peace

I have to admit although the gear knob is a little taller, this has equated to an easier throw...Not sure if it has to do with the fact that it is also oversized but it does feel very positive to change with....

The Neon does make the interior glow very well..Enough to be noticed but not enough to be blinding..

yeah looks good, would suit a chopped gearstick too

and to "the photographer " or whateva lol, i don't think one tiny blue light inside his car is going to wreck the "colour scheme". But yeah, i saw a magna with neons the ohter day in perth and though"man this guy giving us a bad name", but i guess if u want to be noticed or if u want drags etc, defects etc its oright

how about a tiny charade with heaps of work done that only runs high 16's? is that ok ? hahahaha jk ps. high 16's is slower than the slowest stock 3rd gen made


later :cool:
