Illuminated gear shift ****

Is there a **** out there that will illuminate each shift gear number of the gear you are in, and that fits and works well on our XFIRES?

Apart from being somewhat dubiously cool looking to some, I have to ask why it is needed.

If someone is not sure what gear they are in that person may be better of in an auto.

I'm wondering the same thing. If your hand is usually on the shift ****, other than cruising, when will you see it?

I think there may be only a few that indicate which gear you are in and the rest are just lit up showing the gate pattern like the Startech I believe.

The one above is a Startech part. I got mine from German ebay. The seller wouldn't allow a US buyer though so a UK member helped me out by buying and shipping it to me and I paid him
