Retrofit gear stick surround ambient light

Hi
I have this plug but with only black and white wires.Will the gear stick ambient light work if i take the light and connect its own plug in this plug...I mentioned that there is 12v in this pair of wires

It might work mate depends if the wires are in the plug (car side) I can't see why they wouldn't be.

I'll grab the pin out so you can check

[Rusty2009]

Check you have Pin 7 on the plug in the car mate

This is my plug (pin 10 and pin 9).

Yes sorry just looked again at the pinout should be 9 & 10 which you seem to have.

As your light has the male plug plug them together and see if the light work.

I open this thread in case i'll buy the light...As you said i have the pins 9,10 but maybe i' ll need and the pin 7.What do you think?

[Rusty2009]

There is only 2 wires for LED power and ground. If you can get the LED with the the above plug it should just be plug and play and should also dim down.

So you think that i don't need the pin 7, because i'm confused.

all this info is already in the how to

if you have power to the black and white wires on the body side plug
then you just need to connect the led to it 9 and 10 only
the other led dimming goes to buttons etc

No mate I misread the pin out as I was rushing when posting as had to take dogs out

You mean the plug under the gear knob?

[tucpal]

yep it is all in the how to

i think there may have been i wire color change if you have a GTC

[tucpal]

i see you have 12 volt already there in the black and white wires
so you only need to add two wires from the LED to the plug and it will work

there are multiple ways this can be done as not every car has the wires there
but it looks like you do

I think the only thing i have to do is to get the light with the big male plug from a dealer (as i have a manual handbrake) and connect it to my female that i post above.So i think i'll do my job...

[tucpal]

that sounds correct yes the Manuel handbrake one does just plug in to that connector.
