Wiring home-made shift light
I have a quick question.
My Civic CX doesn't have a clock in it, but behind the dash trim piece there is a harness clip for the clock. Can I wire up something like a shift light to the 12v power and ground wires on that useless clip? (BTW That trim piece is where I'm gonna put the light.) The shift light needs a switched 12v and ground, then a tach wire to get it to work.
Also, anyone know where to tap into a tach wire to hook up a shift light?
Thanks for all the help.

Here is the link to where I got it from.
It was $50.00, so I figured what the hell.

Just checking. The blue wire with the cap/termination on it in the 1st picture
Or the blue/black wire in this picture below the blue wire.

Re: Wiring home-made shift light (SpoonSportsEF7)
Here is the light mounted. I may move it as it's not in the best spot right now, but still looks good enough.
BTW, I couldn't center the light in the trim plug because of the attachment points on the back.
