Materials:
* LEDs (5-10 mm) — 6-8 pcs.
* Resistors (330-470 Ohm) — 6-8 pcs.
* Wires
* Heat shrink tube
* Glue (optional)
Tools:
* Phillips screwdriver
* Wire cutters
* Soldering iron
Instructions:
1. Remove the automatic transmission lever:
— Unscrew the screws holding the automatic transmission lever cover.
— Remove the cover together with the casing and lever.
2. Prepare the LEDs:
— Cut the required length of wires and solder them to the LED cathodes (shorter leg).
— Solder resistors to the anodes of the LEDs (longer leg).
3. Install the LEDs on the lever:
— Make small holes in the automatic transmission lever for the LEDs.
— Insert the LEDs into the holes and secure them with glue or heat shrink tubing.
4. Connect the wiring:
— Connect the wires from the LEDs to each other in series.
— Connect one end of the circuit to the positive terminal of the power source (eg DC power wire).
— Connect the other end of the circuit to ground (for example, a metal part of the car).
5. Install the housing and lever:
— Reinstall the casing and automatic transmission lever in their original place.
— Tighten the screws to secure them.
6. Check the backlight:
— Turn on the headlights or side lights to activate the automatic transmission lever illumination.
Adviсe:
*Use LEDs of the same color for consistent lighting.
*Experiment with different angles and placement of LEDs to achieve optimal light distribution.
*For added protection, insulate all connections with heat shrink tubing.
