I have seen many ideas for a gear indicator, but I really did not want any add on stuff on the dash (like the additional displays) and I really only care about a light that will let me know when I am in 6th. I did see one pretty trick idea of putting led’s under the numbers in the tach that lit up for what gear you were in, but this was pretty advanced, as it required a programmable ic chip, and did other functions (that I don’t really care about), and I’m not sure how viewable it is in the daylight.
I had an idea and wanted to see if anyone else had tried it, or had any helpful info.
Use the neutral LED to also indicate 6th gear with a different color. This could be done 2 ways, either replace the LED with a 3 pronged 2 color LED, so one color would be neutral and the other 6th (but I don’t know the specs on the stock LED) or another way would be to put another LED behind (under) the neutral LED. The latter would not really require any permanent modification to the stock cluster and should shine through, as the stock LED is mostly clear.
