Required materials:
* 6 T5 LEDs with high CRI (color rendering index)
* Flat head screwdriver
* Saw blades
* Soldering iron and solder
* Heat shrink tube
Instructions:
1. Removing the gearbox:
* Disconnect the battery.
* Remove the gearbox protective cover.
* Disconnect the shift wire from the transmission.
* Remove the bolts securing the gearbox to the engine.
* Carefully remove the transmission from the engine.
2. Access to backlight bulbs:
* Turn the gearbox upside down.
* Using a flat head screwdriver, pry up the plastic cover covering the shift panel.
* Remove the cover carefully to avoid breaking the latches.
* Locate the light bulbs located under the gear shift panel.
3. Replacing light bulbs:
* Remove the old light bulbs by pulling them.
*Insert new T5 LEDs into sockets.
* Make sure the polarity of the LEDs is correct (long pin is positive, short pin is minus).
4. Solder connections:
*Using a soldering iron, solder the bare LED wires to the corresponding lamp socket pins.
* Reinforce solder joints with heat shrink tubing.
5. Reinstallation:
* Reinstall the shift panel and snap it onto the housing.
*Connect the shift wire to the gearbox.
* Install the gearbox to the engine and tighten the bolts.
* Connect the battery.
6. Check:
* Turn on the ignition and move the gear shift lever to all positions.
*Check whether the backlight is lit correctly and whether there is any flickering.
Adviсe:
*Use high CRI LEDs for optimal color rendering and visibility.
* Be careful when handling the saw as it may damage the plastic parts.
*Make sure the polarity of the LEDs is correct, otherwise they will not work.
*Be sure to protect solder joints with heat shrink tubing to prevent short circuits.
