***VIDEOS*** Custom LED Shift Lights in action

Thanks to Dixit for hosting these suckers. Just click on the link to watch them.

Video #1

Video #2

Please pardon my slow shifting, my Max has only been a 5-speed for a couple weeks so I'm not a pro....


Enjoy!

Very cool addition to your car. I was thinking that the shift light would get old after a while, but I guess if you're not shifting ~5800+RPM, you won't even see it. Good work.

Tony, man.....I have to say, I'm very impressed. Everything is clean and looks really damn good. What's even better, is you do it with taste, it doesn't look ricey, and it really shows your ability to customize things. Keep up the work!

Looks great! Amazing how much effort has went into your car, I bet you couldnt even possibly throw out a figure when it comes to selling it because of all the time and effort you put into it.

Thanks for the feedback

For those of you who think the lights are too bright, they only flash for an instant, so the brighter the better to get my attention.

Due to my busy schedule, I won't have time to produce anything for anyone, including myself...

I'll try and finish the 44-LED front turn signals within the next few weeks.

You set it a little before redline (500RPM) or more so that you dont hit fuel cutoff right?

Exactly, wanted to give myself a few hundred RPM to react and shift.
