Just an FYI for those who have the Brabus Shift Knob.......If you need to repair/replace the LED in the shift knob:

1. From the Top, remove the Brabus "B" (its glued on, but not tight)
2. You will see a white plastic piece and two screws, remove the plastic and the two screws
3. Remove the leather piece (glued too)
4. You will now see the chrome plate in between the leather pieces, hidden is two more screws; find/remove the screws and remove the chrome plate (glued)
5. You should now have access to the LED
6. Reconstruction is in reverse, make sure to re-glue for every step you had to un-glue

you cant repair it with a typical LED, they'll blow out. I ended up with radioshack resistors on with a 5mm high voltage LED,
