    I think powering it involves rigging the power up to another source - I'm pretty sure Bruno's site has the procedure.

    Where can I see Bruno's site?

    Love that upgrade! That has been on my list for a long time. Very tasteful. How about a pic with it light up when you get a chance

    Default wiring path

    Any chance of getting pics of the connection at the headlight switch and where you ran it to the shift boot?



    No, the wiring was not already in place. But if you look at the picture you can see the wiring that came with the knob. You just plug it between the interior light dimmer (beside the headlight switch) and the wire that goes into it. Then run the cable inside the dash to the shifter.[/QUOTE]

    Hmmm... A 'Big Knob' that glows in the dark?

    Default Did you lose the dimming ability after the mod?

    Just wondering?

    No, the dimming still works (with the knob illumination too).
    Keep in mind that these are original BMW parts so ofcourse they work
