Shift lights=dummy light.. Just there for people who cant "feel" whent to shift... Another annoying light to distract you while driving

 

my 94 metro has one, i ignore it. if i let off the gas and put my foot back on gas it goes away.

 

Well glad to see I'm getting ripped on! LOL.

Anyways I'm getting a nice 5 inch FAZE Gaguge Tachometer installed this weekend.

Black Faced Reverse Glo - At night lights up blue.

ONly doing it for soul purposes for car shows to add more umph.

I'll post a pic of it soon

 

Obviously like I said it's the black one!

 

I dont get it, are you guys deaf? you can just feel and hear when you need to shift...

 

1. Shift lights are worthless... you can feel when it's time to shift. Also, if you can watch the dash for a light, you can watch the tach just as easily.

2. The tC likely doesn't have one because it's a $17,000 car with a whole lot of upscale options. Keeping the price at the right range was probably a whole lot more important to Toyota than providing one more idiot light.

 

you cazn buy just shift ligts for like $60 or something, the tC already has a tach..........YOU DONT NEED TWO!

 

ok people once again, it is not that you need the light to know when to shift, yes i can feel it, yes i can watch the tach, yes i can hear the engine, but i still think it would be cool to set shift points when the light is to come on. i still want one and i will prolly use the one on the g tech pro ss

 

shifting at various rpms give you different styles of driving. like cruising or racing.
so how would a shift light know which style you want to drive at different times?

 

I would not only shift only when the light comes on, most people i know do not shift at the same rpm, i would prolly set it for racing (at the track of course) even then make a couple of runs and find the best shifting points for racing. that does not mean that i need the shift light, IMO it would just be cool.

 

the way I drive, the light would just always be on... :twisted:

 

and set it at like 6100 rpms......lol

 

More crap you add, the more clustered it looks.......great for a car show....they'll love all 23 gauges even though they are all pointless!

 

Welll I could see if u had power up mods where your car would have more power but I see the others ppls points now that u dont truly need it.

 

How exactly do you feel when to shift? I dont even know how to drive stick(unless it's all redline, floor clutch, shift over and over again). So I could use a shift light(or have a computer do it for me...like I'm already planning to get in my tC)
