before and after picts..what almost threw me was the lights were not on when i closed my door.. until i put a rag on the window sensor,,and created darkness,,dum sometimes,,
looks good...wating on plate..maybe today,,and will update with plate

later ryd,,

done deal,,led's and cup holder, light does not leak to sides, if you move led up under plate,,,great install..

taking picts in dark is tough, but in real life, it looks good!! more than happy..and easyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

and my red stitching i did shows up pretty good...)

i found this is a good location at the traction control, when i open my door, the led comes on in cup holder, if its light outside, it goes out, if dark stays on, and i can dim it also if i think the interior is to bright, when i shut off car, after a couple seconds light goes out with all interior lights.
good for my purposes..but i see what you want to do, that is fine also, just not able to use dimmer i think with that set up..later ryd,,

That sounds good.
Did you have to pull the shifter plate and all or can you get to it from the side? And what wires did you jump into?
I have a 1SS and non ABL if that makes any difference.

Steel take a look at the first couple of posts. it should be good for your 1ss but i am not sure about the ABl ?? you dont have to pull the shifter plate, the traction control pops up and then from there you take the clip that controls traction control and un-clip it,..(easy) and splice into the yellow and black wires..with the new red and black led wires...super easy process..if you follow directions in this thread..let us know how you do...maybe a pict of two..later ryd,.

i am interested on installing it. I have bought the blue led and the chrome part for the console cup. as i understood, i fix it, i send the wiring to the down part to the gauges and i pop it to the purple wire or the black/yellow wires ?

Black and yellow, see post 1.
