Rich,

Do you own a DashHawk?  I set mine to change a bright green at a specific 6000 RPM and bright red at 7000 RPM. (I have a westers tune)  Since the our cars don't already incorporate a shift light, there isn't a wire to tap into.

I'll check out the light and get back to you on a possible hookup location

Hi Joe,
 
We've attached an instruction file.  You can connect the SST shiftlight to any one of your coil trigger wires.  It will work just fine.

Thanks,
Julianna
