I purchased the illuminated knob about an year ago from bimmian.com. Quality was 8/10 and fitment was 6/10.
Also, the green light on the knob keeps on until the car goes in the sleep mode and hence "High Battery discharge while parked" warning comes up the next day I'll start my car.
I will consider to get it again if you can help with the connector settings. Which connectors did you switch?

I'm interested in knowing as well! Cheers!

I purchased the illuminated shifter from bimmian. Looked good, quality & fitment was satisfactory.
However, the green light stayed illuminated even when the car was off with the key out of the ignition.
No good, sent it back for a full refund.
Just could not deal with the light staying on.

I thought the same things but I found out The green light goes off after approx: 20mins when thee BMW Sleep shift mode
Comes into play, and cuts off with the BMW shift console PRND
Hope this helps!
