The silver horseshoe came with upgraded shifter ***** option such as aluminum look, wood (dark and light burl), carbon fiber.

Got mine in today. Has anyone hooked up the option with led lights? Where did you wire that in?

I don't own one, but if I were doing it I would wire it to one of the window switches.
There is a wire for the back-lighting for the window switches, and they're really close by.

I bought one, but used the shift boot and horseshoe in combination with a Function First **** and shaft...

Looks sharp! How do you like the feel of the round ****?
I actually like how the factory shifter/**** feels in my hand.

I didnt think about that. I was looking at the dash.

Splice the two wires from the shifter to the wires connecting to A and C on the back of the switch
Hope this helps

Absolutely love the feel. I originally ordered the alloy round shift **** and switched to this one. I also installed the Function First shift kit that massively improves the shift action (does not shorten the throws). And installed the modified shift detent in the transaxle to prevent the kicking-out of 2nd gear. I am thoroughly pleased with the results.

I ended up tapping into the wires for the ashtray light.

That’s a beautiful shifter. I really want one, I just wish it didn’t cost so much.
