Shift Light Installed
91 Civic Si
Installed AutoMeter Pro shift light inside the center vent. It was an easy install. Took a while to figure out how to secure the light & proper placement since there isn't much room. I wiggled and finally found a place where no screws are needed. There is just a slight amount of pressure to keep is still. Found a place to pull the wires through & connected. MSD SCI box is mount just behind the glove box on the heat ducting & has a tach hook right on the side where the shift light can be connected if not using aftermarket tach. :smoker2:

autometer shift lites come with pills that you plug into the light to tell it when to come on, I think they run about 80 bucks. My local Trak Auto store can order them.

I ordered only the light from summit racing. The light was $65.00 & the RPM pills are $20 for a set. I went with 6,000rpm kit which included 6000 - 6200 - 6400 - 6600 - 6800

The point in a shift light is to warn the driver or let the driver know that he/she has or is about to approach redline in that respective gear. Pretty useless if you ask me but I could use one considering my car has no tach and it very quiet. But if your car is loud I dont believe you should be using one since the motor is very audible. But its just another light to put on your dash. and hey its fun. I think someone should make a light that flashes like this:flash: that might be cool. no, I take that back it will be annoying, like those cell phone antennas that flash the same way. Ok enough ranting.

You can set a shift light to come on whenever you want, so it lights and you know to shift with out watching your tach.
