GTI/GTD Gear Knob....
« on: 22 October 2013, 10:30 »
Hi,

I have seen photo's of the GTI gear knob illuminated, is this standard?  And should the GTD gear knob light up also?

Thanks,

Martin

Are you sure it's no just the red LED ambient lighting in the roof console that is lighting that whole area of the center console up?
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Those illuminated gear knobs are usually via eBay, tacky at best and most definitely not standard thankfully..

Ah that's what thought, it's just weird the gear knob has the masked off bit at the base (the white bit or us painted areas).  They must have gone to the effort of masking that off for some reason...

Thanks for the feedback anyway  :smiley:
