stock tac. shift light

[bigrob-CB7]

Is there a write up on putting a shift light on a stock tac. on here? If there is I couldn't find it. this is something Im sure someone has done before and I need to know where to tap into and all.

You mean like in the cluster? It is doable but might need to drill into the cluster. Other people just buy a chipped ECU and use the CEL as a shift light.

you could always take something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/6-99-...96540074QQrdZ1, open it up and mount the control knob somewhere, and use your own cluster mounted mini light instead, wired in place of the super bright one it comes with

are you talking about installing something like the auto meter shift light to work with your stock tach/cluster?..if so its easy..there are 3 wires if i remember...ground, power, and tach signal from your distributor....

Probably the easiest way was mentionned by chipping the ecu and use the CEL

either because u swapped ur engine or when racing your car, it keeps u from moving your eye's off the road and looking at your tach gauge when racing.

I think im going to get a aftermarket tach. Is it pos. to put in the stock cluster or something like that? I just dont want a big ass tach sitting shotgun in my car.
