Default Console shifter lighting, found this!

I know there's a bunch of us that are irritated that Ford decided to eliminate the shifter position light in the floor console, and some haven't noticed, and some don't care.
While looking around for grille lights, I found this, https://www.f150leds.com/collections...b-led-lighting
Too late for me, I scored an OEM light set up, but for those not that lucky, these might be just the thing.

As much as I dislike F150leds, the cupholder light kit I have had for almost 3 years is still going strong. Maybe their quality has improved. That is a nice find though.

Ya, I thought it was too, maybe help out someone who is looking for the OEM setup, that are rarer than hens teeth.
I'm using their running board lights, mounted and hooked up my way, and their cupholder lights. No complaints on my end.

Looks like a good solution. Would be even better if it could connect into the existing connector for the OEM lighting.
i have the OEM too , however it could be brighter

Ya, the OEM could be brighter for sure. Did you have the pigtail under there? I wired mine to the back of the light switch because I had nothing under the console.

No problem, just thought others might be interested. Not sure yet, but I may just get this for when I get bored.

I have not removed the console trim. I am assuming since mine are illuminated that I have the connector shown in the F150 Led video. So was thinking a version with a connector would be the easiest/ neatest way to go
Currently checking out their led light kit for the running boards!

It looks like you can change the color of the shift selector but does it “highlight” the specific gear you are in? Doesn’t show that in any of the photo’s
