Ever since I installed my Hondata, 1st was 2b then to 3bd, the shift light has always been BARELY lit. You can't tell in the day but at night its definately slightly illuminated. It also gets slowly brighter as rpms go up too. Not even close to the brightness when it is ON, but again, noticeably brighter.

is it me?

the unit as a whole has been performing flawlessly.

 

Did you try to switch the wires? Just a thought, mine did that and after switching the wires, now it would just about to blind you

 

where did you guys mount the shift light?

 

check your power and ground for the light mack sure its not crimped or scratched...


and i dont quite now how the shiftlights is wired with the hondata weither or not it comes prewired to the ecu or not, but if you have to worie it i would check the power and ground

 

I usually mount the led in the bezel in front of the instrument cluster

pritos: try reversing the leads on the LED.

 

what wire does the light connect too? the blue tach wire? dont hit me w/ a

reversing the leads doesn't make the light come on at all.

the shift light works great. its just that its a tiny bit illuminated.

when I first got the Hondata the shift light was mislabeled on the box. even with the right wires plugged into the socket the shift light would not work. so I reversed polarity and it works.

 

on the Hondata Manual, it sa 3600 MCD LED. I can't find it. What if I use one rated for more MCDs, any one having problems?
