E38 rear center vent retrofit

[roarf]

This is a bit of a silly request, I know. I saw a thread somewhere where someone had retrofit the rear center console vent from an E38 into an E39. The reason for the swap I think was to have the illuminated knobs. I cannot for the life of me find that post... must have been buried in someone's build thread. I also seem to recall it being a bit more complicated than fitting the E38 illuminated door handles (maybe they aren't quite the same size?). Has anyone here done the vent swap?

GER did it on his M5 project thread on M5 board, it’s not a straight swap.
