shift light vid....something a little special

[vibrating_Cake]

now this has been a little "side project" me and my dad did a few month back, if you've been following my thread ive put some LED strips in the dials to brighten them up (as well as the standard bulbs being replaced by blue LED's)... while i was there i found they did green, white, red and blue!

 

and i had a shift light at home i could never be bothered fitting!

 

so... out came the soldering iron and some wire cutters, a couple of diodes, about 6 relays and many wires, and the result is...

 

dials which are blue normally, near the rev limiter, the blue turns off and the green light on, lighting the dials up green.

just before the rev limiter, the dials turn off green and turn onto bright red (all the dials)... so i thought i'd share the vid with you guys see if you like.

 

in the vid it looks like the green stays on constantly, i tried to hold the car on the rev limiter for a while, but its progressive and cuts down the revs every time you hit it so it was a bit of a pain to keep in the red.

 

but every clock on the dials do go from bright blue, to bright green, then bright red (meaning change gear asap!) lol

 

vids-- i tried to slow down the revs near the limiter to get the lights to stay on a little longer, wasnt risking going 90+mph to get a slow change from 3rd to 4th, the cam was a little slow at picking up the light change :\
