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.

 

Yes you can use that power source w/ no problem.. as for the tach signal you can run the wire to the drivers side strut tower wiring harness and tap into the blue wire..

 

what kinda light are you goin to use i am interested in this idea too let us know how it turns out

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.

 

blue one with the cap buddy ..its a dealer test wire or some **** from what i heard dont take it as fact but yes thats the one to tap for rpm signal

 

Aren't digital cameras great or what?!

Thanks for the help.

 

I made my Interior Headlamp come on for a shift light, its tiiite. =x

 

would you mind sharing with us, how you did this?
thanks
sounds pretty nice though

 

hahah i dont know how much id be willing to do that...sounds kinda dangerous

 

I was Joking....Im not that ghetto!

 

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.
