Great DIY, Me too have cut the gear rod in my maruti 800..
The led's are of 3volts and have u used some resistors to reduce the voltage
as our car's voltage is 12volts.
i dont used any resistor. it reduces current & dimmed the light. 4 LED's each of 3 volts in series(4x3=12) so now it works perfect now I amm looking for light which i can install on rear seats, like the lights came with new cars. it should slim & can be fitted in roof. so no one can says its a DIY.
Great DIY.
as for the gear lever i always wanted to do it because when in 5th gear my 800's gear knob always rubbed with my legs so it was kind of an irritation.
but all of the workshops advised me not to do it. they said that if you sell the car it may be difficult for the new owner to change the gear. so i never did it.
I know everyone told me. but i ignore the all. first day its little quite difficult to put 2nd gear, i went to mechanic (my friend, he has already did it on his 800) he adjusted the gear rod under the body(which i had opened to take the leaver out) now it works perfect. its my habbit i dont listen to the mechanics & tell them just do what i say. i dont care about warranty & other things i know i can opreate. i do what i decided.

Good post "daffuboyz"
DIY's surely need lot of praises.
led need to connect to a 100 ohm 1 watt resistor in series of 4 led's max.
and please dont use sms slang and spell check before posting. it will enhance reading and will add to your reputation.
Remember , ma 800 is not equal to my 800
similarly there is no thing called cutted!
i didn't added any resistor.
am sorry for using sms language, you know it when typing, your fingers always type the shorts. Now i'll always spell check before posting.
anyway thanks for telling me..
