Change gear light

[CallyTeee]

Has anyone re-wired the change gear light on the speedo clocks and put it on to the dash somewhere more visable? Like and external light or similar?

Yes they have mate. There's a thread on here somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.

I've yet to actually see my light (or warning depending on who you ask) come on even when I bounced the poor thing off the limiter.

On another note, this topic intrigued me so a did a bit of searching which led me to these instructions on how to place it externally :

It's the Czech CS but just let Google translate do it's thing and it actually looks quite easy to do.

Personally I fear it might pikey the car up a bit unless done very neatly (don't be sticking s**t in your A pillar) but I'd be interested to see results if anybody were to have stab at it. I'm no electrical engineer but maybe even I'll have a go at it and post a guide (in English) - I have a spare dash lying about. :rasp:

Edit: the more I read about it, the more it looks like a "dude, you should have changed by now..." light.

Easier way to get a visible shift light would be to get a cheap Android phone, buy Torque, buy an OBD2 bluetooth reader, buy the Racing Meter plug in, then configure it.
