R U A LS1

I have had an autometer shift light for a while now. I didnt see the point in getting an entire new tach because i used to think they were big and bulky. Although now i can see you need one when you raise your rpms and rev limiter. But until i sell my shift light which probably wont be for a while, i have had it mounted on the steering column. At first it looked cool but im a little tired of it. I know its not exactly a Harlan but what do you guys think if i mounted in in the holder/hole thingy next to the lighter??
Thanks

To hard to look at when your at the track or on the road for all that matters. Here is what I did.

You could put it in a a/c vent.

Function before Form is the rule I'd go by with a shift lite. I want to be able to see it clearly.

My stock tach works fine, but some other 99+ cars have slow tachs. I think only the '98s work correctly (fast)

would it really be a matter of being able to see it. I mean guys with the Harlan put it in the cigarette lighter. Mine is bigger and probably just as bright so i dont think putting it in that hole would be that big of a deal. What do you still think??

My stock tach is very slow, but i don't really use it racing. My shift light is in the center a/c vent. It's set at 5800rpm, i like to shift at 6000 so when i see the light i shift as quick as possible, which means i'm probably at 5900 or 6000 if im a little slow.

Heu ZMAN.......do you have an AUTOMETER not a Harlan in the A/C vent.....And for anyone to answer...turning on the A/C, at full blast for this question's sake, wouldnt hurt the shift light would it?

RUALS1; I have a harlan light, i'm not sure if your autometer will fit in the a/c vent? I don't get to use the a/c that much here in upstate NY, but i haven't had any problems, it's just cold air i don't think it will hurt anything.

I have a Proform, and mounted it in the hole next to the fog light switch! I don't have ASR, so there wasn't a functional switch! <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
