    It lights up the letters on the auto by the shifter. But does not light up what gear you are in by the shifter. There is a red thin plastic piece that is next to the letters/numbers that you can see during the day but not so easily at night.

    Re: what these wires for?

    The shift console turns on; there is a small bulb on one of its ends. What it does not indicate (at least in mine) is what gear is in; for that I look at the indicator in the dashboard (quite more convenient)
    If it ain't broke... I fix it!
