Question about shift light install. Ok, my new Omex sequential shift light finally came in from North Wales the other day and I'm getting ready to install it.
First:
What do I set the number of cylinders on if I hook into the tach wire from the ECU? From all I've read I think it should be on 4 cylinders - does everyone agree??
Last q and an observation:
Install U and the majority of installation info pages I've seen say its best to connect to the # 10 wire coming out of the ECU and then run it thru the firewall. Has anyone thought about finding this same wire as it leaves the tach or follow the wire into the passenger compartment and splice it in there? Seems like if it wasn't too hard to locate or access this would be an easier place and no grommet to worry about going thru. Comments??

Re: Question about shift light install. I don't have the same shift light as you but YES you do set it to 4 cyl mode. Since we have a coil to plug set up somehow our car puts out the same signal as 4 bangers. It really only takes a few minuetes to run the wire inside the passenger compartment from the CPU. I used the Install University web page as my instructions and everything worked out perfect.
The reason I don't think anyone has figured out what wired it is is becuse their are Soooooooo many wires comming from the dash(guage cluster) area it would be hard to tell which wire it is. And it would probably in a huge wire loom and take A LOT more time to find the correct wire and then tap off of it.
