real people know how to shift by the sound of their motor.
i guess you aint a real person.

well you need to pick a rpm that you want the light to light up at...
From there I'd imagine there are different ways to do it...
You could use a pulse width modulator to judge when the tach signal is going at the right frequency (rpm range).
Not sure how else you would do it though...
I'm sure there is a write up somewhere... but probobly not here...
try club si or the like...

their's actually a device that can do this, 3 wires to hook up too, power, ground, tach signel. then you can adjust the redline of the car, then a LED lights up when you need to shift. but how are you going to know your redline without a tach in the first place?

You can change the rpm with a little plug in.
I did this on my fiance's car. It works great.

what about an ex gauge cluster? no big-*** tach on the dash, and you still have the rpm.
