Hey

Any one of you guys ever played with one of those shifter lights? The ones where u hit a certain RPM and the thing changes colors to indicate a shift?

Im thinking of getting one since ill be hitting the track when summer rolls around. Iwas wondering how the wiring works on one of those things, can install it as to hide most of the wiring? If not that would kinda be ugly.

Anyways thanks for the help.

Why does it have to be a riced out import? Shift lights and large tachs originated on high horsepower muscle cars.

A lot of seasoned drag racers don't go to a track to get the absolute lowest time, their goal is to get consistant times. A shift light could help in that category.
