JCW Shift light is installed....
It was an easy mod since it is factory everything was done pretty well. It took me about an hour but, if I had to do it again I could do it in 30 minutes. You dont really need any tools for this. 1. Removing the factory cover is a little pain, I used a tiny screw driver to pop the clip points and presto...it was off. 2. The JCW shift light comes with a new cover, its as ease as running and securing the wiring then snapping the new part in place. 3. There are only (3) wires you tap into place. I have a PDF from BMW if you need a copy. 4. Test to make sure it lights up and then tuck everything in place. There is an on/off button on the back of the light pod. The Gree light is a little bright at night. I used a tiny piece of Limo tint and I will see tonight if that tones the center green light down a bit. You only see the other lights when you get over about 5K.....dont hold me to that but I will tell you the lights start coming on when you well into the power band and should be starting to think about shifting. The light is more of a day to day novelty however, I can really see if you autocross it could be an effective tool.... I would like to see a gear shift indicator for the autocross days..anyone know if there is a company that makes one? Attachment 173686 Attachment 173687 Attachment 173688 Jimmy |
So when do you shift? When everything is lit up?

Thanks for the pics. I have been considering this myself and I wanted to know how much this unit would block out the lower information display. Still haven't made up my mind yet but your pics were just the information I was looking for.
