Re: Where did you put your shift light??



I actually have two... long story. I like both locations.

One is where the cig lighter is, the other is beside my tach. The cig lighter one was first, but the tach I have came with its own integrated shift light - I cant find a way to extend it all the way over to the cig lighter either. Oh well.

My shift light is mounted on the steering column using a big hose clamp.

Could i get a pic of what it looks like in the dash and did you have to cut the dash behind the lighter to make it fit??? I assume you used an autometer one.

Re: Where did you put your shift light??

lookng at getting one of these and replacing the cigerette lighter with it.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ATM-3387/

Anyone done this yet at all as Im lookig for pros and cons to it. I really like it as it will fit in the spot with minimal cutting and has the modual built into it instead of buying 2 pieces to make the shift light work. Any help and info on them would be awsome. Thanks

Bright enough to get your attention, but not bright enough to blind you. Fully programmable in 100rpm incriments.

Re: Where did you put your shift light??

It's not my cup of tea, but if you like it, that's all that matters.

When I do mine, I'm hoping to get one that's small enough to mount down inside the cig lighter hole so that when I'm not at the track I can re-install the lighter to hide it.
