DanGersFord Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I plan on fitting a blue illuminated gear knob today and im going to wire it in with the headlight switch. Basically I have a new blue illuminated head light switch with the front fog light extra switch included. My question is would I be able to fit this switch just now even though I havent got the front foglights fitted yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanGersFord Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Cheers Clive. Im just wiring in the gear knob just now would I be able to connect it to the ignition live on the stereo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Do you not have a spare wire near your lighter socket which is switched 12v? There's one on a focus, maybe you'll be lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Ive wired it up with the ign live on the stereo mate cheers anyway seems to be working ok :) just waiting on my car bursting into flames ive never wired anything up 100% myself before lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOCA Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 LEDs draw very little current so as long as its wired/ insulated properly it will be fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Powell Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 That gear knob is pretty smart - comes on whenever the ignition is on then i'm assuming :) eBay? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Yes the way ive wired it up it does. It was actually a forum member i got it from. Its not an exact fit for my mk6 though it doesnt actually screw on to the gear stick its just been jammed on haha and ive had to sow the gear gaiter to the gaiter securing ring to stop it from slipping. The gear knobs an official ford one but off a mk7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigante Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Do you not have a spare wire near your lighter socket which is switched 12v? There's one on a focus, maybe you'll be lucky Which spare switched live is this? It will come in handy for a mod I wanna do By the way Davey boy the blue is looking shweeet! Agree with Clive though, shoulda bought a focus ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
