Can i hook up a shift lite to stock tach?

[89fiveliter]

i have a monster sport comp tach with a shift lite, i really am not big on gauge thing. I like the stock look, but a shift lite would be very helpful. Can i hook up my autometer shift lite only to my stock tach? any help would be greatly appreciated. I cant find any answers any where else! thanks

Doubtful. I don't think the shift light on the monster tach is a stand-alone unit. Secondly, the stock tach is not accurate at all.


Look into a small autometer pen shift light if you want to avoid the boy racer tach look. It comes with a small module that you tap into the neg coil wire and then you can mount the tiny shift light anywhere. Some guys have put them in their vents.

I agree with you about not liking the huge 5" tach thing. It wouldn't be so bad if every boy racer and his civic didn't have one screwed near the A-pillar.

I beleive you can wire it directly to the coil,as long as the shift light is detacable.If you want to sell the tach email me some good pics and your price with shipping.My email is [email protected] peace

That shift light cannot be used without the tach. All it is ,is a brake light that is wired into the tach. You can buy stand alone units without a tach. I have a Stewart Warner with a digital tach in the middle and LEDs all around it. Very nice shift light, it is programable by 10 rpm increment with no pill to plug in.

OK sounds like it will be for sale then......LOL. I am definitely avoiding the huge tach on the dash look! I will look into the tach lites now, thanks for the help all!

Auto meter makes a tach adapter and it uses RPM pills to set the shift light. Search summitracing.com. you should be able to find it

Ok well that might have been what i had in my coupe then? I thought maybe it was a light detached from a tach and they didnt use the tach just the light.peace
