I tried to searched but only i got is tachometer w/ shift light. What i want is how to intstall a LED light (or some people use their engine light) to light up when it time to shift.
Anyone got the write up somewhere?

 

i used to have a PROFORM adjustable shiftlight.


installed it exactly like an aftermarket tach.

 

its not that hard, all you need is a resistor that will drop its resistance and allow power at certain voltage. You can get them from lordco for like 40$

 

got a site where u got it?

 

summit or jegs.

forgot which one.

but no need for an aftermarket tach, you can use your factory gauges with only a light.

 

These are pretty cheap and work well: http://www.raptorperformance.com/

 

do you like it?

For real, when I got my edm cluster I put a shift light in it.

My camaro has one hidden in the vents.

Shift lights are so much nicer then a huge monster tach with light.

installs are a breeze with these.

My civics is wired in the cluster but as far as mounting one somewhere I would say use Harlen, its a great part

 

although i like just a shift light better then a monster tach with one.. i dont understand the point of one... cant you take a sec and look down ?

Stock tachs arn't perfect, when your run lasts 9 secs do you want to spend a second looking down?

 

ok.. if you go to the track.. but most people with shift lights only want them cuz they look cool.. which they dont if you dont use them .

Yes, I had a Raptor in my last car (EP3 civic with a raised fuel cutoff), and I enjoyed it.

Before I ever got around to installing it on the CRX, I decided to give it to a friend.

 

I don't have to look down to see mine. The one I have came with the car, is about the size of a typical pocket flashlight, and at night it lights up the whole interior of the car when it goes off.

If you want to spend some money you can get a HUD projector, which is the whipped **** IMO. Projects the tach up onto your windshield so you don't have to look down at all. I'm not sure how well they show by day, but I have seen one car with the HUD projector at night and it looked mint. I have seen them on ebay for three or four hundred dollars.
