Shift Light

[david-b]

Ok here's the deal. I want a shift light for racing, but I hate those bug obnoxious lights shining right in your face that blinds the hell out of you. What I want is have the actual gauge cluster glow red or something when I hit my shift point. So when I'm driving, I get a glow coming in the cluster area. Makes sense? I think it would look bad ass, but not sure hot to pull that off.

I could get one of those ebay shift lights and disassemble it, but not sure where to position the lights to do it right. I don't want to see the actual lights. Some of the are multiple LEDS, which I can easily run wires for and place in different locations. Any ideas on this?

Actually as I'm sitting here thinking about it, I could place it under the radio. In that little "drawer" place I custom made a Mitsubishi and Chrysler logo out plastic. The cut outs are backed with paper, making them foggy white. If I place the light behind there, the logos would light up at my shift point. I always wanted to put a light behind there anyways. I'm thinking I may do that, but I still want to try the cluster deal.

My turbo timer has a shift light feature. The screen glows blue but then flashes red at a certain rpm point. It also has a speed warning on it. This would be the route I would go if I was you considering your going to need one anyways. I think I payed a little over $100. I also have it mounted under the radio. Its made by hks, let me see if I can find it.

Here you go, it has so many different features. Make sure to get the black one so it reads us specs.

Get one of those ugly types, disassemble it, remove that big ass orange light, and tap in a LED into the bottom part of the gauge cluster. It shouldn't be too hard, just time consuming.
