So my little orange deal wasn't moving correctly, so instead of fixing it, I decided to removed the indicator completely and had a sticker made to light up at night. Enjoy =)
This is the channel that the plastic piece with the PNRD321 sits in. Years of soda and red bull built up yuck. cleaned it up with some acetone.
Spent quite a while wet sanding the back where the PNRD321 is painted on. I used acetone, 3000 grit paper, and a lot of elbow grease. I also wet sanded the top side to ensure a flat surface for the vinyl.
All cleaned up! I tried to 'blur' it up as much as I could to ensure the light would diffuse over the whole surface.
Sticker added to the top side of the plastic piece. I had the sticker made flat black from House of Grafx House of Grafx, Your One Stop Vinyl Graphics Shop. It's 5 1/2 inches X 1 inch.
Just a picture of the shifter without the piece.
Slide the plastic back in very carefully to avoid damaging the sticker.
Back in the console.
You can kinda see the flange that would be the edge of the indicator in the middle there, that needs cut out because it goesright down the middle of the 'supercharged' and cuts off the light
Did the best I could with what I had as far as tools(dremel would've been ideal) and notched in for the LED strips. Ended up putting one on top instead of down in the channel.
just another view of the notches.
The wires for the LED strips then get spliced into these wires for the stock 194 bulb. Black is ground, gray is power from the parking light circuit.
Gonna try and figure out a better way to light it/disperse the light
And TADA! pretty cool little mod that was cheap and fairly easy.
