If you don't like hondas, take your gripes elsewhere, or remix it to have the standard tree instead of "civic". I might upload a different version eventually... Basically, the switches mount to a printed plate that is attached to the cable's sheath, and a small fin travels inside the plate attached to the cable and triggers 2 switches. Left/right cable grounds out the left, center, and right columns of LEDs, while the forward/backward cable sends 12 V to the top or bottom rows of LEDs. example, if the shifter is pushed left, the left column is grounded. If the shifter is then pushed forward, the top row is energized. The only LED with both a positive and a negative would be the top-left, which is first gear. etc. Crude wiring diagram included, colors coordinate with "speedwire", a 9-conductor wire set often used in car amplifier and audio installations. Anything will work, just keep note of what goes where. Also, switch placement may vary based on which direction your cables move (mostly for left-right, since they transfer to a forward backward movement. My left shift actually translated into a forward cable movement, but this may not be true for all vehicles) Hood for ease of viewing in daylight will follow soon. (Hood, or "Sun Shroud", regular and long versions added 3/7/18. Simply glue on after assembly.)
