Shift Light? - HondaClub.com

**MugenEJ6AutoX** · 05-15-2008, 08:25 PM

Ok my new Honda had a broken gauge cluster at one time, so the last owner replaced it with one from an EX. However its an automatic cluster in a manual car[aka gear choice lights]. I hate wiring with a passion, anyone know a site/link with step by step instruction on making the Auto-gear choice thingy into a shift light? Like I said I'm a wiring idiot so the more detailed the better.

A shift light is pretty easy. It's just an LED that turns on when the tach reads a certain voltage (RPM).

I spent about 2 minutes on google. Like everyone should when they have a question. Here's what you want: S2000 Forums -> DIY: Shift Lite Installation 101

I just don't trust the internet, i'd rather get a reccomendation from someone who has experiance doing it. You know?

That article uses another kind of light, not the auto gauge cluster. To be honest, nobody has probably ever done that before. It might work, but I don't know who would know how to do it. I'm not an electrical engineer.

I bet I could figure it out.

I've seen it done once or twice, they used the orange check engine light however,
