fentuz Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 hi there I'm thinking about adding a shift light on my S1. Although I read RobC's thread about this on SELOC, I have further queries. A red LED strip could be fitted in between the stack and the stack cap and then be wired to the emerald unit. The idea is to light the dashboard when the shifting rpm is reached. I don't want to use the seat belt led because I don't want this led to be a source of confusion should anything else in that area lit (usually a TUS). Unfortunately, it is advised to fit a fuse there (see attached pic), but which one (I guess 5A is plenty enough) The other thing is the event panel detail: how does "sequential start" work? what is it? Is there a way to get the shift light bleeping some few hundred rpm before shifting rpm and become constantly lit form the shifting rpm onward? Thanks Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin R Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Bill, i can only help with the fuse. A shift light will take very little. Try a 1A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr H Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Why not just fit and Shift-I Only needs a couple of wires connecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fentuz Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 I don't want to mess with the Stack wiring, as it would never work again. And, it is easy to sort all this with the emerald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fentuz Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 The shift light works. To test, I set it at 2400rpm And I changed the light switches using 106/306 bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesH Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Nice job! Looks a lot neater than some of the shift lights that seem a bit aftermarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
