I searched and couldn't find anything...

...I was wondering if I could get detailed instructions from someone on how to wire a vetc light. I have a 94 Accord Ex. Thank you

I have not done it but I asume you tap the vtec silinoid wire from the ecu... then simply add a light and wire/ ground it.

Sorry if you looking for something more in detail... maybe someone else will input.

what does a vtec light do? why is it done? what are the gains? how does it work?

lahight

No gains, simply cosmetic to see when your vtec kicks in. Unfortunately, mine always shows ~2500 rpm and i dont think that is right. Tap into the single green/yellow wire that runs from the vtec solenoid to the ecu with one of the leads from a 12v led and ground the other lead. Not that cool, and I don't think it's accurate.

(thanks poison)

(a little off topic, but.....)
I have a VAFC installed and it show VTEC is ON when it hits 2500rpm...

In another thread, someone has mention that there are 2 stages of VTEC.

VTEC is always on

carolinaACCORD

true.

the best way to wire one up, would be to tap into the vtec solenoid wire closer to the ecu and go to the + terminal of a low current 12V light, then just ground the light.

you want a high cam engagement recognition light

I'll get the instructions when I get home from my neighbor

personally I just think it would be a cool free mod. I'd like to see when it kicks in. Can someone email me detailed instruction...with pictures maybe? Craziegirl1520@aol.com

Thanks guys,

just search ebay for those Vtec lights... would be cool on an H22 Accord

accordfreak

it's a no brainer job...

12v bulb (like your corner signal bulb),


any electrical wires from an auto parts store

quick split from any auto parts store:


soldering iron, solder from radio shack and electrical tape

solder the wires to the bulb... positive and negative wire
install the light where ever you want
splice the positive wire to the vtec wire right by the ECU using the quick split (green/yellow wire) like lahight said

ground the negative

and you're done...


i use it to see when it actually activated...

okay, yep vtec is always on, it cross over

CrazieLude

thank you very much accord freak..it sounds easy enough.

Can you wire it to one of the lights on the dash...like the little seat belt guy or something like that?

iam7head

i think wiring it on the cluster looks pretty cool, i mean you can hook the led or blub up in the cluster and it will be on..people been doing it for years and i think it look best. just my 2cents
