bignum Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I`m looking to fit a sequential shift light soon and wondered what other folks are using, also are they easy to wire up.Most of the units ive looked at are only 3 wires so presume 12v, ground and tacho, any input would be great.

little num Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 when you say sequential, what you mean, like 3 lights first green second orange then third red, this would be good once you have fitted your you can then fit mine fat boy.

TrickTT Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Next you'll be wanting it to change gear for you.. Like mine does:muahaha: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bodger2003 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 yes its 3 wires earth ignition and tacho easy took me 1/2 hour most battling with dash panel good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk-rich Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 i have a omex one, has 4 lights, can programme the revs at each ones comes on at, good bit of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I'd like one with an adjustable range. I thought they were gimicky, but when bignum and I drove an ex race 911 GT3 which had shift lights, I realised how useful they can be as an extra indicator. If this is easily DIY-able (and I don't see why it shouldnt' be) then I'd be up for fitting something to my Supe too. I wonder if I could fit some descrete mini LEDs (with a brightness control so day/night doesn't matter) along the top of the dash edge. Stick a dial somwhere to control the range..

sparkystav Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I fitted something similar in my Is200 here: When i get home i'll see if i can find the circuit i used. But basically its a chip that changes 0-5v pulses from the engine to a linear voltage, (lm2917), plus various capacitors and resistors, then linear voltage to outputs (lm3914).

Stav That looks similar to what I had in mind; I'd only want half a dozen LEDs at most though, to indicate when the revs reach a certain amount, rather than acting like a tachometer as your setup seemed to do. I'd guess the circuit would be very similar? If you don't mind sharing, that would be top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
