Hidden/unobvious shift lights, what and where?

[281pony]

i went to the track for the first time last week. i was real happy with my times honestly as it was. i do have a few things i discovered and am addressing before my return trip. one of them being that my oem ssp tach is WAY off. when i was dyno tuned it was in the neighborhood of 800-900 rpm's off at 6200.

so i am considering a shift light again. i dont want a big monster tach, nothing on the steering column. i was thinking maybe stuffed behind a dash speaker grill?

give me your idea's/pics if possible and which light you use. i want to make sure im shifting it where i should be.

It's not a shift light, but it could work the same. I have my DC Fan controller activity light partially hidden in my center A/C duct. I don't have a picture of it but it works pretty good for me.

thats a good idea, but wont work for me. i have the gauge cage deal in my center vent already.

Raptor shift light in the drivers side vent, since you have the gauge cage in the center one. I'll see if I can find the picture I saw of that setup.

EDIT:

Here it is.

one of these in the AC vent is the way to go

i've got one of the autometer digital tachometer/shiftlights in my 99 and love it. Its a 2 1/4' gauge and fits right in my gauge pod, most people don't know what it is when they see it.

Great idea! I am thinking about going that route.

I have the same one - level 2 version - and love it too. I mounted mine on the steering column cover so I could easily watch the revs - the stock tach is stuck on approx 4000 rpms..

Crap pics but you get an idea:

Hell yes you can see the shift light when it's hidden in the vents! I had mine mounted in the center vents on johns car when i had it. I took it out for the gauges that are/were in there now. peace

The red one? In the day time?

 

[SMOKEDYA]

None of those pics were mine. But yes even in the day you could see it. At night it was able to light up the interior. peace
