    You can either buy a lighted red dial for like 80 bucks or solder a led into the existing one. I did a blue and I like it.

    Rieger is almost exactly stock, except is has the chrome band around the handle - are you thinking of something else?

            Looks good Bart! I do like the Rieger shifter and have been thinking of getting on for my Jetta, but green of course

              $65 with a 10% discount at northland... not too bad.

              then you need some wires and a clip to make it work.

              yes, i dont like the shape of reiger either. if i could light up my current knob that would be awesome! and i like the chrome going around the bottom of mine, where it meets the console, reiger doesnt have that...

              people on vortex painted them black and installed them in 20th's. if anyone wants, i can sell my old one, so they can see how it might turn out! $10! lol

                The best thing about it is the feel... the switches on the stock piece feel like crap. The W8 adds so much class.
