Those are they--installation is a bit tricky because the instructions are specific to the RHD version of the FL5, so plan on a potentially long/slow process with a multimeter. Personally, I think the outcome is worth the trouble.

Do you know where to tap the wires for the center cup? I just purchased mine but don't know where to tap

I recommend back-pinning with a multimeter to find your tapping points--my experience (LHD FL5 install) or the available instructions (for RHD FL5's) will not be helpful.

I just did this yesterday. Mine plugged directly into the harness for the hazard flashers.

Ok, how did you get there? Did you removed the dash and head unit to get to the harzard light? Thanks for the response I will check it out tonight

The pictures show as far as you need to go, the head unit stayed. I followed the loosely translated instructions for a RHD CTR here.

I was doing a bunch of things at the same time the Hybrid Racing shifter and FL5 shift knob, Overland designs console, Mikstore rear vents/USB kit, CTR console box and armrest, adding some foam tape to eliminate the chance of any rattles, red LED above the wireless charger, as well as the Honda Access console and cup holder lighting. I’m still playing with the setup of the shifter before I put the shift boot back on.

To do just the lights you alone was really easy once everything was disassembled. Drill 6 holes, routing and taping wires around the console box and cup holders, run wire up towards the hazard plug and maybe 12-14 zip ties. Pretty happy with the outcome.
