Adding a shift light to the rev counter

The engine in the CityBug is quite lively and is very easy to rev hard when accelerating hard or overtaking so some guy decided to add a shift light to the rev counter





A couple of video's

The light is a miniature LED from a mobile phone positioned in the very centre of the counter shining through a 1mm hole which makes it very discrete. Adjustment is from the rear with a small trimmer.

If anyone is interested the guy who made this mod is able to sell a complete kit, pre-assembled - but you will need to be pretty competent with a drill and soldering iron - as well as capable of taking the dash apart. The mod will be completely safe and removable, the only damage will be the hole for the LED and hole for the adjustment knob. For those daunted by the prospect but still interested in adding the functionality - the guy can also modify rev counters and send them back.

If you are interested you can send an email to the guy who made this mod
