yeah i did it once but then took it out to do it properly... the way i first tried it out was when i connected possitive wire to the vtec solinoid on the engine and the negative wire to the body. then i connected them to the shift light on my dash.
but... that was the stupid way of installing it acorrding to my friends, so i took it out.
the correct way of installing it is aparently wiring the positive to a green/ yellow wire on the ecu, and negative wire to the body! less hassel and a little neater i guess?

just get any shift light or aftermarket tacho - and set the normal "shift" light for when "VTEC" crossover happens.

I thought i saw a DIY in this forum, a guy had a toy car and hooked up LEDs in its headlights to make a VTEC light? Try searching there man.

You own a VTi so you'll need to get a smaller light bulb if you use a shift light from a normal monster taco.

I did that and it didnt work till i changed the bulb in it.
