    Default Camaro tap shift button help

    All, I just need some assistance from those who have completed the camaro tap shift conversion. My local dealers are all "by the book" and will not sell the camaro parts without a verified vin number. I need to order them from somewhere. Ive come up with a plan for making them more comfortably accessible than the actual push buttons. If anyone can help please let me know. Thanks!

    P.s. I have searched the forum, but I cant find the right key words...

    Thanks! Been looking at that for a few days trying to figure out the led issue. You should be able to tap the hot wire from the horn and just have the LEDs on at all times, without the horn freaking out . If not I don't see the big deal, muscle memory shows me where the buttons I need are lol

    lol Best of Luck. i honestly prefer them off at night, i usually turn everything off by holding the +_- dimmer buttons. It was a win win for me.

    Got my buttons in the mail, however I cant source the damn resistors in town. Trying to avoid the carbon ones but I cant see them being that intensive to need metal film but i do want to use what was originally in there from gm

    Heres a video of the clearance on my paddles. Its alot more quite when engaged since i plasti dip them. Without
    the plasti dip, you will hear the clicking sound when engaged. You can still feel and hear them working when driving.
