i want an external shift light that comes on at like 6,200rpm, and i wanna mount it in my pillar or defrost vent.......any ideas? i thought about taking some wire and an led and running it off of my shift light on my cluster but that will be telling me to shift too soon. i wanna shift light to come on at 6,200rpm, but i dont need another tach and i dont want one...i really dont want another tach....simply because it will look tacky. why have 2 when all u need is one.

I wish I could contribute more to this thread than saying I absolutely love the pun.. a tach would look tacky"

yeah i know i just couldnt help my self. but seriously this is really puzzling me. ive thought about getting a tach with a shift light and taking the shift light off and putting the shift light in my glove box or engine bay, and i also thought about riging a sensor on my throttle body to control a shift light, like when a positioned tab hit a sensor tab to make an electrical connection to a tab set at the 6,200 spot on my throttle linkage. i just cant figure anything out

doesn't stuart warner make a nice one?

i forget...

There are shift lights available without tachs. They use rpm pills (same ones as rpm switches) Why not use one of those. It'd be WAY easier than running a wire from a hidden tach.

I was happy when I heard my car ran 10s. Then I found out that was 0-60.

ok that sounds good...but who makes them, and where can i get them
