Shift Light

I was wondering if I am able to hook up a shift light while using my stock tach. I think it would look better than adding another one? If so how would I go about hooking it up?

yeah I use the harlan with my stock tach. The stock tach lags a little but I think the actual signal from the PCM is pretty accurate (and therefore the shift light should be). I dont think an aftermarket tach is worth it, all you need is a shift light. Concentrate on driving and when you see the light, shift. thats the best setup IMO.
and personally big tachs on the dash look dumb unless your car is a drag car. I put my shift light in the AC vent, so you cant see its there untill it comes on.

yeah, its pretty easy, I've got my Autometer on my a-pillar w/ my gauges. You need to splice into the white #10 pin.
