.... well as you may remember my rev counter broke, well yesterday night it had some kid of fit then started to work again, bonus!
so today i decided to make the shift light pod and mount it on the top of the stearing shroud, so off to maplin to get a little box, 5 leds and some random other bits and bobs...
drilled the box and mounted the leds:
wired all the +'ve together and covered them in tape(nice and tidy lol):
the control module switches the fly leads to negative so i wired some wire to the -'ve off the leds:
then i put some tape round the wires and placed it on the dash:
excuse the fact i actually taped it down, need to get some double sided sticky pads to hold it on properly.
looks pretty funky and works very well considering the total cost was £19 for the base unit and the remote led cluster!
anyway, use this space to voice your opinions!

Nice and simple 
I think your car would suit a flocked rally wheel though...
