Forgive me for the pictures they were taken with a mobile phone
What you need:
-something warm to make plastic easier to cut I just used a lighter as it was accessible.
-a razor
-aluminum foil(possibly)
-krazy glue
Refer here to taking apart the shifter piece.

Now that you have it apart you will want to cut the top piece of the triangular light bulb holding bracket, probably about 1 cm in depth.
Then cut off the reflective tape piece and mount the bulb bracket where that was being held I used krazy glue cause it makes life ez. It should look like this.
Now I used aluminum foil to separate each section
Yeah not very professional also used krazy glue.
This is how it looks without using the aluminum foil to separate it.
Then I painted it blue and separated it and here is the finished product.
Yeah ez and pretty much free but its not a bad mod to do.

Looks good..
Yeah definitely could have put more effort in but I was going just for it to look nice once installed.Originally Posted by lavie2k9
Thanks yours was much more professional.
I was just looking at this again and I just realized how much of a difference the aluminum foil made. I am thinking of other ways to do this to make it cleaner as a whole but nothing is really striking me cause of the way the light bulb bracket is. If you have any ideas post them if I like them I may try them out for a cleaner job.
No one else was interested in this mod?
i will do it as soon as spring comes:-))) i was think to do just Jeff's mod, but i will do also yours. Thanks for tut
Jeff's was a lot more involved then mine and only lights up the circle next to it. Its pretty much a matter of preference this was done same night I discussed it with you guys. lol
my shifter lights stop working......they have a mind of their own now
they come on every now and then......haven't taken the time to look at it further
check the bulb and wires make sure nothings loose it should be lit when lights are on
Cool mod, but I have a shifter boot covering it up so I can't see it anyway.
It was either this or that the shifter boot is like trying to say you have a manual in my mind so I did this.
yeah i will check on that
since the weather is starting to break i am going to start diving into things
This is the same MOD (except I used only one LED) I did to my car back in June of 2007. Lot of people here gave me crap about it... I see that some one else thought it was a good MOD too...
Nice work 03-Galant-ES

Yeah only difference was mine lights up letter too so you arent guessing which dot is lit up. I just did it cause we talked about it and I said it would be easy. I am covering the whole thing with a shift boot soon because I have an MDX shift knob and it doesnt look too good without a boot.

I agree.
The reason I didn't use LED's on the letters is that letters do light up with the head lights on and I didn't see the need to add more bulbs (LED's).
Anyway, I like what you have done. Good work!

Thanks u did a good job too I just made mine so that I need the same bulb it was a boredom thing hehe thanks to everyone for the props.
it looks great but again could have been done a little cleaner, but i do admit i would have never thought of the aluminum foil. lol
