Thread: VTEC Light

  1. #13
    You don't need a relay to do that sort of thing. Relays are used for high current applications such as turning on and off radiator fans, heaters, air-con etc...

    If you can get your hands on a engine wiring diagram I can do it. Just splice a wire (first determine the voltage level with a multimeter) off whatever signal actuates Vtec solenoid, use a transistor wired up to a power supply (i.e. battery) the transistor is the switch (a small relay if you will) that turns on and off a light that can be connected in the circuit, with the vtec-solenoid signal that actuates the transistor.

    I wouldn't waste my time on it though.

    I've already got an Autometer blue shift lite sitting on the steering column, and also purchased a Do Luck brand VTEC light which I plan to have added to the left of the steering column, integrated in where the alarm indicator light now sit's. :wink:

    just get a shift light and mount it underneath your cluster gauges on top of the plastic...way more functional to know when to shift than when VTEC kicks in IMO

    I think it's a cool idea but it'd get annoying. If anything, I'd add a toggle switch as Setanta suggested. Also, I'd only do it if I were to use a blank spot in the gauge cluster, so that it looked factory.

    ...I'd also do it if I had VTEC

    We put a LED in a mate's 4agze Corolla for when the supercharger was 'on'. The novelty wears off quickly, but it does impress the uninformed.
