    Need fast answer - 1999 M Roadster Illuminated Shifter

    Hey everyone,
    I ask for fast answer as sadly I have everything apart at the moment and hit a wall. Bought an illuminated shifter for my M Roady, as they can come with them (I thought all, but of course I had to find one that didn't). I'm installing new boots today, and have the shifter area cleared of sound dampening, and I see 0 available connectors. I get the feeling it is not wired for it. This may sound stupid, but I found the bulb for the cigarette lighter ring just laying in there. It lights up... I don't care about the cigarette lighter ring lighting up, would this work for the knob? Idk about voltage/amperage/ohms for all this, so asking in the lighting section since its interior lighting. Please give me a heads up asap, I appreciate it bimmer peeps!

    Yes, most likely you are looking at the light bulb that illuminates the ashtray, cigarette lighter ring or both - you can tap into those 2 wires for your shift knob without a problem.
