So I really want to do that L.E.D shift knob project like 2 people have done here. But give zero feedback on how to do it.
So on Saturday my significant other spilled Chinese food on the entire center portion/panel of the car and I thought I had cleaned it all off, until I noticed some sauce IN the blue portion of the knob.
So I started to take it apart to get to the sauce. And I am starting to dissemble the knob.
Here add some photos of the knob taken apart. Maybe that can give some insight to some of you for the LED project.
I'll try my best as to explain how I took apart the knob. I'm a very inexperienced person when it comes to things like this. (Pardon the dirty shift knob, beef with broccoli sauce)
So removing the top portion of the knob. There are 4 pieces attaching it to to shift body. I took two very thin zip ties and slid them between the blue translucent piece and the front of the shift knob top. The zip tie was soft enough, not to dent or scratch the plastic, to push it the retaining plastic pieces which hold in the top plastic piece to the knob.
If you notice the top Plastic piece has 4 Holes at where they attach to the inside of the nob. I took a picture of the inside of the knob to see where they attach. When I get home Ill try to put arrows where to show you were they attach, to Make it more clear.
I still don't know where or how they put the L.E.D to light up the blue, BUT In going to figure it out. And I'll get better at explaining it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
