Welcome to LOC :)

Sorry I haven't got a clue on those questions there but someone on here will do :) I've seen a couple of cars with the shift lights so it's been done somewhere!

If you look here: http://www.bahamutcars.com/workshop/IS_98-05/index.html

There wiring diagrams etc.

I've fitted one like this:

Its just tucked away under the speedo shining up.

Though i'm changing it at the moment so its more yellow in the middle and not orange (which looks like red)

If you look in the wiring diagrams bit at the combination meter, and ecu then that will show you the wire and connector.

Im guessing you have the option to turn that off? That would annoy the hell out of me having a little fairground in my clusters...

Lol yeah its easy to turn off.

i've managed to locate the fact that its connectors c10 and c11 but i can't work out which wire it is can anyone who understands wiring diagrams tell me which number is the tacho feed

i feel so dumb :shutit:

It looks like the black wire into pin 14 of the combination meter, to me at least.
