What do you guys think about installing a shift light on my car and using the stock tach. How accurate is the stock tach and would its accuracy (or lack thereof) effect the shift light? Im just looking for a little project to work on over the weekend and thought of this.

 

when i bought my 2000 mustang gt a couple of weeks ago it came with one and i am new to driving a stick.... so it kinda helps me out when i stomp on it..... cuz im not paying attention and the bright light gets my attention to shift.

 

after i take my spoiler off and get gears, a monstrocity of a tach w/ shift light is what i'm getting...they just look ****in sweet..

 

aftermarket tachs are gay if you already have a tach. just get a MSD shift light and put it on the dash toward the a-pillar.

durta dur my car comes with a tach and i want to put a bigger one on durta dur.

ps we make fun of people that do that to there 1996-2004 mustangs what you think the fast and furious is real. lol

 

when I was looking for my mustang I saw one where the light was installed into the center a/c vent on the drivers side. I really bright LED that caught your eye even during the day...I thought that was pretty slick as I am not really into the a/m huge tach/roll of quarters light

 

So what do you guys think a good aftermarket shift light is and how hard would it be to install?

 

I've heard the stock tach isnt the most accurate, so whats wrong with putting a more accurate monstrocity in your car?

 

I kept my tach and did a raptor shiftlight in the vent, I wouldnt want a big tach or anythign sitton on my dash

 

i remember seeing something about someone putting the light in an a/c vent a while back. I just found this, it's in a camaro, but its a cool ideal.
