Option 5
:facejump::facejump::facejump:

you cant have that in the norther suburbs, it'll get stolen

Shift lights are lame

Option 4 though

either option 4 or possibly hanging off the A pillar perhaps?

i agree, they are lame on an auto magna lol

and thank you for the input ;)

yeah thats pretty much 3

if you dont know when to shift well no light is going to help you. Mount it on the roof facing back so the car behind you can see when you hit redline..:)

How about pull it apart, modify the output it to light up one of your cluster lights (ie. engine light), factory look ftw :)

in option 1

you should put it where the tweeter is...??? im presuming your going for performance so what use do you have for a little tweeter ;);)

Dude all the others besides 3 look stupid.
either that, OR for the stealth look, place it inside the air vent, that way "No officer I have no shift light...." but yeah you get the jist.

lol i know when to shift, this is just to aid me. I've only bounced off the limiter a handful of times. I just want to able to concerntrate on the road more than anything, also the xr's dont have a redline on the cluster and there is only one way to find out.

NOOOOOOOOOO, the tweeter stays put!! lol

Hey you have never been in my car so how did you know that.. Well it stayed on since we put the Haltech in so we had to do something with it. Its funny as, When you start thrashing people are like dude your engine light is flashing on. Im like yeah its the engine saying its had enough of that gear, Next Please..:)

I suggested cracking the cluster open and finding a way to put it in there, that way when he hits the shift point, the entire cluster will light up...

max speed is 25km/h unfortunately...:cry:

max speed is 25km/h unfortunately...:cry:

Pfft. I wanted to add atleast another 300km/h too that. break the magna land speed record..:)


I vote under the dash done near your knee. Also try to dim the light a little as they are so bright and belong on Hectic Civics.:)

Well he did say he does 25km/h

:stoopid: , option 3 otherwise, if you can hide all the wires it will look even better

Option 5 - Bin.

why didnt you go for one of the single led ones then u can hide it in a realy tight
place

Well he did say he does 25km/h

:bowrofl:

Vote 1 or 3. 1 would be my primary choice, as long as it doesn't get in the way of anything. Anywhere thats not really in plain view is a bit silly as you need to see the light or there's no point having it.

Does it have to be that big one mikky jay or can it be a smaller one like this:

My answer - Just no.

Option 6

Bin.

Option 6

Bin.Bin is option 5 :)

you guys are getting it wrong
Option 5 is the bonnet and there is no option 6 lol

I can understand if some of you guys don't like it but its going on whether you like it or not :happy:

Guys,
Is the OP's car, not yours, if you have something constructive to state, this is the thrad to put it into. if not, then there really is no where for you to put your opinion as the OP was not asking if you like it or now

Many do not like these lights and see little use for the lights, as do I the posts I have been reading from those stating to throw it on the bin etc

Thanks dude, but i don't mind, i knew i was going to get some responses like that lol

I'm really leaning towards 3 only cause its the optimal spot and probably easiest to fit in that position.

Will be installing it on sunday if i have time ;)

Take a pill mate, seriously.

This is a public forum. We will have our say.

i reckons also in a vent so the vent glows up coloured, would look kinda cool!

So is this shift light adjustable from the back or?

Well, screwed if you wanna shift before 3K lol

Pretty neato idea! I ended up buying a 3.75" 11K tacho with shift light didnt know you could buy add ons!

wire it up so the hazard button glows when you need to shift...

Remember it's a Ford V8, so around 3k is the right time to shift... :happy:.

Snap :gfight:
hahah nah that car has balls...:kb:

dispite being lame opt 3 is the best place

could do option 5 if you hide it under the actual bonnet like where to windscreen wipers are???

Thats not a bad idea and would be pretty stealth.

cut a hole in the back of your bulge, then black mesh it, then put it in there....


then do it to the bulge on your bonnet.
