Re: gear knob lights
No they don't all have lights, the wiring should be there if you wish to connect one though.

Just the thing for Americans, who do not know where the next gear is . . . .
A Z3 is not just for Christmas - it's for life!
Re: gear knob lights
Only the Z3M one lights up. The M gearknob in the non-M Z3s, part of the Mtech pack, doesn't light up.

The one in my 2003 3.0i sport lights up.
Re: gear knob lights
The one in my 2.2 lights up, part of the Msport setup i suppose.

Does that mean Non-m Z's got the wiring? Forgot to check when i changed the gaiter.Brian H wrote:No they don't all have lights, the wiring should be there if you wish to connect one though.
Re: gear knob lights
Yes it does, be careful when connecting it up, if you short the connection it blows the rheostat in the light switch.thompy93 wrote:Does that mean Non-m Z's got the wiring?

Re: gear knob lights
just had a look under the gear stick cover the only wires there are for the windows no spare connections for the knob light ( no sniggers) any way the new one looks much better then the old one, I think some one tried to prise the top out leaving it with crazing in the plastic

Re: gear knob lights
There are lots of spare wires under there, including for a telephone kit, OBC, heated seats, etc. The loom is behind the heater controls and any spare connectors may well be folder back and taped to the loom itself, rather than floating about near the gear lever.
