Does anyone have a picture of a cool shift light installation in an R?

 

I'm not sure what your definition of cool is...

 

I was looking for something that looks kinda stock. If that makes sense. Thanks for the picture.

You could just rig it so your interior light comes on at 8400. That'd be nice at night.

 

I don't have a pic handy, but if you have an alarm on your car you probably put one of those small little LED lights on the dash just below the instrument cluster, Dali Racing has a little gadget that you can plug in that will use that (or any other light, or they have a buzzer too) as a shift light, its adjustable as to what RPM it flashes at as well.

 

As R264 mentioned you can rig any light or led to be a shift light. I was checking out the Hondata sight and like how they had theres done. I was thinking about using a little red led somewhere on top of the dash.

 

Its actually quite simple to do a nice oem looking shift light, that most people wont notice.
Remove the gauge cluster open it up and install a Super Bright LED into the spot that usually would say "Cruise Control" on the bottom left of the cluster next to "MAINT REQD" Just drill a hole drop in the LED with LED Holder wire it up to a RPM Switch, set the RPM switch to the desired rpm. Best part is it can all be wired into the gauge cluster so if it needs to be removed you dont have to unwire it.
