Paddle Shifter LED

I am thinking of putting LED's in the paddle shifters so that the + and - light up. I am not sure how to go about this but I would need to cut out the + and - and find some sort of tiny LED to put on the back. This is just an idea but it would be nice if they lit up at night. Thoughts....

Glow in the dark paint and a fine paint brush

I really like Paratroopers idea of using the glow-in-the-dark paint. It would make a sharp difference and yet be easily reversible. I'm not sure drilling holes in the magnesium paddles and using LED's would be my cup of tea but I never use the anyway.

The whole point in us modifying our cars is to express our own individuality. Good luck with the mod and keep us updated, plz.

I really do like the paint idea. Just need to find a color that will somewhat match the interior dash colors and see how it works.

I wouldn't even notice the led if it was there. I'm not looking at the paddles when I use mine. I use them exclusively.
