Shift light

[i-WERKS]

The Pivot shift light is nice and small. Has controls for brightness and rpm settings. I faced the LED module so that I don't get blinded. It flashes a bright white. It just plugs into the cig lighter so install is very easy. I have some vids of it in action but need a host if anyone is interested.

Hmm...how is that these type of lights know what RPM your engine is at? That would be cool if you don't have to tap any wires but how exactly does it work?

Thanks!

i think it has to do with the electrical current???? i'm really not sure, but yes there is basically no install it really is "plug and play" However all of my friends cut off the 12v adapter part and just tapped it in to the power for the cigarette lighter. It just looks cleaner that way plus you have acecss to the 12v power.

they sense the engine speed through the electrical system's fluctuations. That's why they only need to be plugged into the cigg lighter, not the RPM signal wire.

Wow! Neat stuff! Never would have thought that.

Thanks for the info

I installed a Rev-Lite shift light by T-Sport. It uses 6 LEDs that span a rev range of 1000 rpms, 4 red, one yellow, and one green. Each light comes on 200 rpm after the previous, I set mine so the green light comes on at 8300 rpm. After I dyno my engine I'll set it to the actual hp peak. This light gives a visual clue when you are approaching your shift point, F1 style. It uses the usual three wire hookup, key-on power, ground, and tach signal. I mounted it above the steering column using a plastic riser. LTBMotorsports.com has them. The LEDs are somewhat bright, I'm going to cover them with tinted plastic. Here it is installed with an intentionally low activation for photo purposes.

are these razo shift light pretty accurate?

Well, this was my next project. I have some plans as to where it'll be hidden ;)

I'll post up pics once it gets done (in the next few months).:(

was or is there any need for ignorant talk like this? People like you get beat up all the time for saying the wrong thing to a particular person...just a little life lesson....:angel:

back to tachometers.....

every tachometer install i a have done we have tapped into the rpm signal itself, i do not get where the "fluctuation" in the signal is coming from? ibviously you have to tap into some sort if wire....and i am talking about most tachometers, not just the RAZZO.

so for others sake, can anyone explain what you do to install a shift light. Or better yet, explain in detail how the shift light mesures the rpm signal through a "signal fluctuation"....I am being serious.;)

so you really dont know what your talking about eh? do me and favor, perhaps, do us all a favor and just ask questions....you may learn a little more that way.....

i recently read an install article on the RAZZO unit and it wasnt just plug and play...it was more so than just that....i will find it for you guys...;)

there you go, step by step install guide....

oh, and I was right after all..

" 8. For the rpm wire...splice it into the blue wire on the far left ecu connector." looks as though you tap into the rpm signal also...

i rest my case...
