Shift Light
I have been thinking about installing a shift light. Don't know too much about them
 and the ones that I have run accross come with a tachometer. Don't think I need the tach but would like just a light. Any ideas?? Also, anything about mounting areas and if they are a difficult installation. Thanks

Re: Shift Light
I dont know much about them but I saw an led shift light on the CF last night in the for sale section from a vendor. It looks like it can be preset for a specific user.

Re: Shift Light
I have an Autometer standalone shift light that has multiple LEDs & digital display for RPM's. The base uses a nice ball & socket type system for adjustment. Its programmable & has progressive shift lighting. They are really nice and easy to instal. I highly recommend it, especially if your oem tach is no longer what it used to be. I mounted mine dead in front of my face on the steering column. Auto meter makes a couple different versions, some fancier, some cheaper. I think the $$ one has datalogging function or something. You may want to look into it. "Digital Shift Light" from Autometer.

Re: Shift Light
Where is the best place to pick up the engine rpm signal for one of these?

Re: Shift Light
thought to throw this into the mix . i have a G-Tech pro rr it has a built in shift light that works off the cig lighter. don t have to hook any wires .plus once you get it dialed in gives you the ability to down load your runs onto the computor . you can learn alot about your runs with the supporting software, ie wheel spin starting line rpms shift rpms etc . it helps you adjust leave rpms and shift rpms for your best et . i found that i was shifting at too high an rpms . i short shift 1-2@6200 (no wheel spin) and shift 2-3 at 6900 and 3 -4 at 6500 by doing this i knocked .35 off my et .plus as a bonus you have a drag strip 24/7. it is accurate to within .05 on et and .75 on the mph
