Nice! Just ordered a similar illuminated vandal momentary switch (22mm) from Amazon. Where did you get that switch with the Motorsport logo?

Started thinking... wouldn't it be cool if you can somehow have one of your buttons on the steering wheel activate this feature? Instead of having it on the shifter base plate

Thank bro,

I have bought the illuminated momentary switch, the back has 5 pins. bought the 19mm unit.
The switch I believe is the same as Roskinc.

Anyone has the pic or info on where the pins on the switch is connect to #8,#9 & #10.
Meaning I don't know what are the pins on the switch are meant for which input on #8,#9.

C connect to #?
NO connect to #?
NC connect to #?
+ connect to #?
- connect to #?

Thank a million for help.

This is what I would do:

C connect to 8
NO connect to 10
NC connect to None
+ connect to 9
- connect to ground (see the LED unlock sport button DIY youtube video at 8:04)
