Anyone ever wire up the shift light in the HF cluster to something useful?

Which pins on the ECU or wires at the back of the cluster control this light?

 

LOL, what the hell do you have in mind? dont the HF shift light turn on around 4k rpms?

 

you can wire in a rpm activated switch to light it up whenever you want, or you could have it tapped into vtec and pretend the arrow means you are going faster!

i think i know when vtec kicks in, i dont need a silly light,

rpm activated switch for a shift light at the correct rpms

 

where on the cluster is the shiftlight at ? on the hf?

 

I had one on my VX...it's supposed to tell you when to shift to get the best mileage...not best performance. It often comes on around 3500 rpm.

 

Was the shift light only available on the HF crx?

 

Only cars I know that had it were the CRX HF and the Civic VX [Maybe Civic HX also?].

WTF!!!

so the stock HF cluster has a shift light???

where at yo..

 

I have an hf but no shift light what the hell? Or is it there and I just need to hook it up?

 

I know a guy that wired his check engine light up as a shift light.

 

Those economy lights are very common, at least in Europe and Japan. But i think the mileage isint so important at US.

For example the Toyotas green and brown light. Green for economy, and brown for... Non- economical

Mercedes has the meter, BMW has the meter as long as i can remember. Plus many other cars.

For the shift light in stock cluster that would be awesome.
