Default Just a shift light or a Tac?
i need a shift light for sure i kno would help with quick runs but any suggestions or should i just buy an autometer full tachomer and putt it in my glove box at an angle facing me next to my boost guage..........i think im going to move the boost guage to the cubby in front of the shifter with the dome light what do you think........

If it's like one of those RPM devices that flash a light, it's pretty ricer IMO. Just do a gauge face conversion where you can put the RPM meter on the middle instead of the side. I think Led-mod.com offers one.

Heres mine. Just a suggestion. Looks way better than doing a tach when you already have one lol.

I would be one of those guys. Ever since raising the RPMs I enjoy not having to stare at the tac to see were I need to shift.
