Interior Blue light that shines on the gear stick

Afternoon Folks

Just wondering if it is possible to replace the Blue light that shines on the gear stick with a brighter one.

I've seen the posts that tell you how to replace the bulb but can't see if you can increase the brightness.

I am not sure about replacing, but I am sure someone either enlarged the hole, or moved it closer, in an attempt to increase brightness, I forget when, or whether it was a success, I have slept since then!

What light that shines on the gearstick? I dont seem to have one. Is this model specific??

Between the 2 map lights in the front there is a small slit, a blue led is behind it, not sure if it is model specific though.

Which was my thought as well. So I had a look and you are right, there it is. I had noticed the light but hadn't realised why it was there. it really does give very little illumination which makes me wonder why it was fitted.

Does it iluminate the gear stick?

If you are on a road with no street lighting then yes it does give some illumination, otherwise it's a bit of a waste of time.

Red on the typeR obviously and it seems to work for me - as a gentle glow.
Perhaps the red spectrum is more noticeable than the blue ...
