he had one that chirped when he hit a certain rpm. i don't think it was sequential led's.

id get it if i needed a shift light.

the sti has something like that, its a red light in the center of the tach, along with a beep beep when you hit redline.

I like the old fashion one. Heres mine......

god damn thats huge

Shift beep>Shift light IMO

60 dollars for a few LED's that light up- fuck that- get an rpm dependent switch from summit racing for like 10 bucks and make your own shift light

who nees a light up.......oem ex cluster works fine, we aren't racing against Mr.Force.

Is your tach broken? Because that's a pretty damn accurate "shift indicator"...Just from looking at the URL for the link, I am going to say NAY.

Learn to know your car by the sounds, that's just my .02, I personally dislike shiftlights.

im not a drag racing fan but...

shift lights = consistency.

but

ask any real drag racer out there, whether you shift by sound or a light - shifting is shifting.

if you want to take extra precautions then they're a good thing to have.

Are you talking to me? My tach is not broken. At the time I took the picture, the car was not running. My tach and shift light works fine.

:bo: That is a good one!!!

But to the sound shift light thingy, it would have to be very loud because when my car is hitting 8k, theirs no way I could hear a little beep. Its much easier to see a big red light in your face then to say.... "I think I herd it...."

You will "hear it" when you overrev and the limiter kicks in. You'll also feel something, too.

I was being a smartass to the tach broken, I was simply referring to use the OEM products when all else fails. <_<
