LED Paddle shifters?

Wondering if any companies make LED paddle shifters?

Clearly you do not understand a simple electrical connection carrying voltage and what is available in that area.

Clearly you don’t understand it’s a waste of time to do it. No one sells it for the f8x platform. So I wouldn’t waste my time with tryin to retro fit a paddle.

Clearly you do not understand that no one sells a retrofit kit as there is no where to get power for it, as I originally stated.

So you think a small hearing aid battery that would keep a paddle shifter led on 24/7/365 would last for 1 or 2 days at max.....or only a few hours?

Of course not. He'd run his own leads to a 12v car battery stored in the passenger footwell

Isn't there power in the steering wheel already for the heated steering wheel or M Performance wheel?

You clearly have no examined the paddle shifters, electronic circuit board and the interior of the steering wheel where everything connects.

There is a reason this is not offered on AliExpress.

How do you think your steering wheel buttons lights are powered?

A 0402 SMD LED on a circuit board can be connected to 12v from the steering wheel buttons. One (+) and (-) wire connects to the steering wheel positive and ground wire is enough to make it happen.

Retardation? At least I'm capable of seeing what's on the road instead of driving into a enormous pothole. Instead of being a fucking dick maybe open those damn eyes when you are driving. BTW CIVIC SI doesn't offer LED paddle shifters, but E60 and E46 Ms both offered. Not quite sure what your definition of rice is

I guess you are comparable with that pothole. Aren't you?
