Can anyone provide info as to whether there is illumination for the indicators on the shift lever console?

Re: Automatic Transmission Shift Lever Illumination

There is no illumination. It took a little getting used to, but you have to look at the indicator on the dash. It's not that bad once you get into the habit.

There is no illumination for the indicators on the shift lever console. The only indicator is in the dash display.

It's illuminated from afar by the ambient lighting. Or if you hold up a flashlight and point it at the shifter.

Re: Automatic Transmission Shift Lever Illumination

The dash display tells you more than lighted indicators on the console would. In particular, in "manual" or "sport" mode, it will display the gear you are in.

Good for Cadillac! That's the way it should be. No more looking down like a mouth breather. Keep your eyes up and looking around you. Too many knockin over of the pedos.

So you only have 1/2 a dozen stick people rubber stamped on your drivers door vs. a full dozen.

I thought knocking over pedos like NSX Nick was a GOOD thing, not a BAD thing...

Re: Automatic Transmission Shift Lever Illumination

Yank that shifter back till it don't go no more and hit the gas. Who needs lights and indicators?
