Has anyone ever tried to use a chip to reprogram the shift light on our cars to act like an aftermarket shift idicator? just thought it would be a neat feature for chips to offer... in case thats not clear i mean setting the factory in dash shift light to come on at, sayn 6000rpm, or whatever you determain to be the optimal shift point... wonder if it could be be gear determained too... i assume the ecu know what gear you are in, maybe thats a bad assumption. (it at least knows wether youre in 5th or not as the light doesnt come on then)...

just thought it would be better than the annoying way ford programmed it.

Lidio changed mine so the light comes on around 5500-6000 only so yep, it can be done no problem

Just get that. I've been super happy with mine and it's REALLY hard to drag race without a light now. The install is pretty simple and it's nice and bright while being small enough to install discreetly.

I don't think I'd notice the stock light... oh I don't now

you dont notice it because you learn to ignore it. but when you first got the car, don't lie, you saw it everytime it came on! anywho, having lidio turn the stock light into a shift light would be free. regardless how much that product is, i bet its more than free.

Maybe that it's, It just never really bothered me :-/ If that's just icing on the cake then so be it! The Harlan light is like $50 and adjustable. I've really come to rely on it while racing.
