some help w/ wiring indiglow shift **** Hey ya'll,
I need some help with installation of my indiglo blue shift ****, it is
cool, ,metal, hot as hell in the summer to touch after the sun...but looks
good lit up. I can easily install the shift ****, what I don't know how to
do is the wiring, it has 2 wires running from the shift **** to give it the
lighting ............?????

Rep Power: 0 probably a 12v....I would suggest this.
U probably have a red and black.
Black= ground
red = power
Run the black to yoru nearest ground.....I.E. frame of the car...even the firewall will work.
For the power, I would run it under the shift boot, then run it up into the cig lighter area. Behind there you will find the power...not sure what color but I thinks it's red. If you have a voltemeter try it out.
Splice into that wire with your power and walla, you got yourself an indiglo shift ****...
Another good point to ground it is under the glove box, theres a metal beem that runs under it, I have a few things grounded there.
Remeber, it won't illuminate if you don't have 0 ground.

I recommend tapping the wire into the parklight fuse, so it only comes on when you turn on your parklights (ie it's dim enough that you can see the **** light up).
