My shift light V1

I threw this together tonight. I' tested it on a power source and itis working really well. Now I just need to go the the pins so I can plug it in to the accessory plug. I put it into this little box (about 1.5" across) so I could easily remove it without any permanent marks left. I am using double sided tape to mount it center dash above the tach. It is well within the field of view and the LEDs are very bright. I chose Blue, Yellow and Red in that order for the LEDs. Total cost is about $15. The wiring inside isn't that nice, but it works and it was cheap. You can't see the inside wiring anyway. I'll post more pics when it is in the car.

http://www.sunbriteleds.com/product.asp?id=47 I used this for my shift light.. It required a bit of adjustment so all the LEDs were the same intensity..

This unit is used as a pixel on a Jumbotron..

Here is a pic mounted and with the lights on. I may move it, but it has good visibility and really gets my attention.

I really like your's justrick, but I didn't want to do anything that forced me to drill any holes yet. Maybe in a few years.
