how to make DIY shiftlight

[subaruimpreza81]

help me who can made it

 

[datsun]

Budget RM15-20
Ingredient
1)AA battery pack Doorbell magnetic type: 1 unit
2)Normal LED cable (60cm): 2 unit
3)LED(RED/blue) : 1 unit/more
4)Paper Clip: 0.5cm long(cutout)
5) wire tape, both side tape

*Doorbell
1)remove the cover, unplug the battery slot and extend the existing wire with Normal LED cable(black to ground, red to power).
2)Extend the cable of the magnet so that you can attached on the rear panel of your speedo
3)solder the LED(RED/blue) on the LED cable and solder both end on the speaker of the doorbell (make sure the position of +- is correct)
Installation
1)Doorbell= connect those 2 cable from battery slot (black to ground, red to power)
2)LED= Anyway... Dashboard, pillar, bosskit
Remove you dash meter and attached the extended magnet piece on the rear of your speedo (Say 4000rpm gives be best result then attached the magnet on the back of the panel- cun cun 4000rpm)
glue your speedo needle with small piece of paperclip... then put everything bacl in order.
HIhi..here's your DIY a shift lamp + bell Alarm *Bonus. which means when your speedo hit 4000rpm your LED start blinking and Alarm goes Ding~dong Ding~dong takumi feel.

Hope u like my crazy idea~~

hahahah... actually it is a good idea too... simple and effective.... but prob if exceed 4000rpm liao it would not blink anymore and from an increasing rpm needle, the LED would just blink maybe just once....

A good way to DIY is that, since RPM works on electronic rather than mechanical (such as the speedometer). U can tap the wire for the RPM and DIY a circuit board to read the signal for RPM and if the signal exceeds certain threshold then an attached LED would blink. U need to source out the diagram for such a circuit online....

Bro don't have any pic to refer this shiftlight diy..

yah horr.. exceed the magetic area it wouldn't blink, what if we customize a dial panel(20% of the dial covered with magnetic thingy)at d back of the meter n conecting to dial switch so u can set whenever u want

yeah... not mistaken u can buy those DIY kit online too..

please refer to this site..

i use that circuit for DIY my LED bar RPM meter..

then if u want to use that circuit for shift light u only need to use 1 LED instead of 10 LEDs...the step are very simple...assemble/solder all the part...connect that circuit to ur car RPM signal...rev ur engine to ur desired RPM...then see which LED are start to light up...now u got the LED for ur desired RPM...remove the others 9 LEDs...hide ur circuit inside ur dashboard...put that single LED any where u like...(use a long wire to connect that LED to the circuit)...that all i think....

that circuit also can be use for AFR meter...i've done it also..

happy DIY...

i want shiftlight

 

[howiechoo]

riq : i think he dun understand wat u said...

 

[riq]

sorry guys...i left one important item....u must have a basic electronic knowledge to do this DIY project.

 

[subaruimpreza81]

i know that. i want another DIY project

 

[howiechoo]

go buy a s2000 meter lor..lolz....

 

[riq]

i know that. i want another DIY project
