Greetings Zap,

If I understand you correctly, your shift window is lit but are wondering if there is a stripe that moves with the shifter so you know what gear the car is in?
You probably need to send MB this idea because none of us have any clue what gear we are traveling in either without turning on the overhead light. It would be helpful at times.
