m911gt · 10-30-2008, 09:18 PM

looks good man, i think i had that exact model of shift knob like six years ago...does it have a skinny black button towards the top to turn on the LED?

The Architect · 10-30-2008, 09:20 PM

it sure does and just my luck the battery is already dying, any idea how to get it out, i took it apart and couldnt find out how.

m911gt · 10-30-2008, 09:23 PM

oh boy, i remember having that problem, unfortunately it's been so long since i've had that knob. sorry i can't be of help

m911gt · 10-30-2008, 09:24 PM

i thought the top unscrewed from the main plastic part?

The Architect · 10-30-2008, 09:25 PM

it does , the top and bottom chrome pieces unscrew from the clear part, ill figure it out somehow.

m911gt · 10-30-2008, 09:27 PM

let me know when you figure it out, i'm curious now. good luck

IsLNdbOi · 10-30-2008, 09:39 PM

What CCFL kit are you using? The Toyota branded ones? If you're using the cheap kinds they sell for computers, how did you wire them in?

Look great btw!

Two Sets of the 12" Blue CCFL Tubes.

Thanks everyone.

IsLNdbOi · 10-30-2008, 09:47 PM

Cool so:

- Connect each CCFL to the inverter.
- Connect inverter's ground wire to any ground.
- Connect the inverter's 12v / red wire to a switched or constant source?

The Architect · 10-31-2008, 03:48 AM

yup, i used a switch.

IsLNdbOi · 10-31-2008, 08:28 AM

So those lights are on all the time when you turn your ignition on?

I don't think so since he used a switch; I'm guessing there's current going to the inverter but only to the lights when the switch is "on."

IsLNdbOi · 10-31-2008, 05:49 PM

Oh ok, I thought he meant he wired it to a switched source (only works when ignition is turned on).
