3 wires connected to the shift light, red for power and black for a ground. splice the 3rd wire(cant remember what color) into the blue wire in the harness located under the hood close to the master cylinder. pop a shift pill into the light and done! i would scam a pic, but my scanner just crapped out on me!! dammit!

shift pill is the little yellow thing that goes into the shift light to let it know when ya want it to light up.

That shift lite is to big. I much rather have the defi 60mm tach with the small shift lite or the small Auto meter shift lite with the tach box. What are the price difference between the two?

call summit i think they sell defi items.
actually i dont know if youd be intirested in this type of light, and i dont know the exact name but theres a light that i once saw on here that has multiple leds, like 5 in a row.its very small,goes right on top of your steering column. from what i remember it actually plugs into your lighter.
ANYONE care to jump that knows more info on that light? myself i have hondata now so i actaully have 2 shift lights, the check engine light plus the led hondata gives you, no need for the autometer anymore...
