Shift Light Install

[geordie]

I just purchased a Gizmo shift light from Autobarn.

When i cracked the cover of the computer and counted the pins on the ecu to find the Tacho signal wire it is not there.

I suspected i would run into problems as my computer has been remaped by mines and has dual HKS idle controllers.

My question is!....

Is the rpm wire i looking for been stolen and used on the hks units?

Can anyone tell my which wire on these units is it?

Do i really need to use the positive and negitive power on the computer for the shift light or can i just get power and ground from another source Ie: stereo, cigarette lighter etc etc.

Your help is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Well its installed sucesfully, found the wire on the back of the speedo cluster folowed it along a touch and cut in on it. Used the power on my EBC....works sweet. Would recomend the gizmo item to anyone considering it, $170 from ricebarn, also placed one of my guages in the bottom vent while i was at it, perfect fit, very tidy indeed.

I was looking for one of those pivot cigarette lighter ones but no one in the shops around town had any in stock, the light i got was the diplay item from autobarn and was the only model they had in stock, and i wanted something on the spot. No waiting.

Thanks for the help SKYBEE.

cheers, G
