It's the little things.... The tatty badge let the front down i felt.



Also, inside, it bugged me that the gearknob didn't illuminate. If I didn't know it was supposed to, I wouldn't have minded! Ignorance is bliss

Anyway, stick, gaiter and knob off


Gently prise up the top, and expose the Led plate and diffuser


Unscrew the retaining TorX, leave the plastic to one side


Now gently pull up the Led plate, the wires should slide up the shaft.


I tested the LEDs and the resistor, all OK apart from the obviously broken Led.


Grab a standard 3mm Led from my stash


Remove the broken one and solder in a new one,taking care to observe correct polarity


The other ones, while appearing white / clear actually light up Red.

Refit the bits and bobs carefully, lining up everything neatly, remembering to plug the 2 pin connection back in


Cross fingers, turn on the lights, hold back childish grin. Result.



I'd assume someone has already done exactly the same, what with one led being broken, and the numbered plastic piece having the backing slightly torn, but its not bad enough to worry me.
