lever

I'm interested in changing the shift knob in my '12 rspec that I just acquired. I understand that the knob itself is a press fit. I'm interested in actually using a threaded knob. I have the ability and tools available to thread the stock lever or even possibly make a custom one. My question is...

Does this area of the transmission control illuminate at night? I can't remember if this is back-lit or if my car has malfunctioned?

I have my old Momo Pitstop e-brake lever and leather boot (with rubber adapter) from my old 2005 Honda Accord. The lever worked perfectly fine with my old car. I pulled it off before i sold it now i want to install it on my 2012 GC. Does anyone know if it will still fit (with the old adapter)...
