Sequential Shift Light

This is the lights in bright bright day light. The sun was above and slightly behind me

The first light is set for 4000rpm and the last red light is for 5500rpm

No night time picture. To bright for my camera phone. And not really willing to keep the rpm's up long enough for the camera to adjust to the light.

So how did you do it? Make another setup for me and I'll pay you handsomely for it :)

Very cool.
How bout' a write up.

That is awesome. I'd love one of those almost as much as an LCD gear indicator. Nice mod.
| CitySubie | 06-27-2005 07:48 PM |
My car is a bit load, but my music is louder. So a shift light helps when tight NYC traffic is involved.
Plus it's easier to keep my eyes on the road and use my periferal vison. It's safer.

| Jonnyfilmboy | 06-28-2005 11:10 AM |
How did you do the wiring?
| CitySubie | 06-28-2005 11:42 AM |
Three wire harness behind the gauge cluster. The one on the right side has a green wire with a stripe. That's for the TACH. The power and ground is anywhere you want it from. I used the cigerette socket for power and had a wire from driver side "B" pillar (where the seatbelt is) that I used as a ground previously for an amp.

That is so nice. Wish you had some video. F1 style :D

Well, I don't know about handsome, but if doing more than one will help lower the price, count me in. That's a sweet mod, but there's no way I'd be able to figure out how to do it on my own.

I would like to see a schematic on how you did this. I like how low key the leds are.
| subieworx | 06-28-2005 08:05 PM |
Why would you set the last light at 5500?
| garie | 06-28-2005 08:19 PM |
pretty cool. now make the lights move around and the sound that kit makes in knight rider. now that would be waaaaay cooler :)
sweet project!!

[QUOTE=subieworx]Why would you set the last light at 5500?[/QUOTE]
I set the red light for 5500rpm because 5600-5700 is where power drops off, no?
It can always be changed to anything else. But at 5500, I let the red go off then shift. I guess to compensate for my reaction time.

He's driving an RS.
That's why the red is 5.5k
Nice work, now show us how to do it please.

+1 was this a premade shift light? or did you normal LEDs and the tach wire? Please explain!!!!!
| IronMonkeyL255 | 06-29-2005 04:09 PM |
That is pretty sweet.
It'd be cool to do one on the edge of the gauge shroud, facing the driver.

If not, looking forward to a write-up as well. Nice work.

yeah going over 6k in a wrx is kinda a waste of fuel.
I have this adjustable unit mounted right by my vin plate and it works great

p.s. I didn't take it in the 455 for $99 like they have it listed, i only paid $45

That's not too shabby, but I like the cleanliness of the install on this thread. I guess you could take one of those units apart and dremel out holes for the LEDs. Maybe? Any pics of your mount 02Blue?

Hwere did you get the red/blue LED's, it looks like its only green where you ordered it from. And PLEASE, how did you mount it without the little box?

The question now, of course, is specially made by you, or specially made by someone who might be bribed into either specially making a couple of more, or at least throwing some Subie fanatics a bone and giving us an idea how we might repeat the design?
In either event, I'm still giving you much props just for having it in your car. Great mod.

Here's the scoop guys:
Here are the dimensions and specs on the product
[url]http://www.tekniqauto.com/US/tsport/rev_specs.htm[/url]
The reason I paid less was because I think the company that makes them was bought out and the new company raised the prices. I got mine off ebay but a quick search there shows no results now.
Here is what is looks like. Fist one is with flash not in operation. Second one is no flash and I turned the thumbwheel down so it came on at a low RPM so you could see what it looks like when its in operation. It is wired into the green tach wire on the back of the cluster.

I think that's a good deal for $99. I've seen TRD-Scion and Sparco units going for more than $300.00!
Here's some more light kits.

| Handsdown | 07-01-2005 07:01 PM |
so can you adjust the RPM, and did you put a switch in it in order to be able to turn it off? i can't stand bright stuff that's always on, so i'd have to have a switch to turn it off.

From the add it looks like you can use the thumb wheel to adjust the RPM up to 12000. If that's the case, you could probably just spin it up to a higher RPM and it would never come on. At least, that's what I'm guessing.

i was more asking about the original poster's setup, since his looks more custom.
| MB38 | 07-02-2005 07:21 PM |
The coolest thing I've seen is one where the LEDs were integrated into the tachometer [a la M3] at the X500 RPM marks [where there are no numbers].
At 6,000 RPM, the light by 1,500 RPM would light up. By 7,000 RPM, the 2,500, 3,500, 4,500, 5,500 and 6,500 RPM lights would light up, lighting the final LED just before the car reaches redline... calling for a shift.

I think part of the point (for me at least) was to not be looking at the tach and still know exactly what RPM I was at. I can see my unit without taking my eyes off the road and an added advantage to the placement/size of the rev-lite is that none of the passengers can see it unless they make an extra effort to do so.
