New Shift Light ( Concept )
Over the past few weeks i have been working with autometer in a new shift light concept ... i have found over the years that many people when they buy a guage pod usually buy a dual and always buy and A/F guage ( cause it looks cool )and then some random guage just to fill the other hole , well this concept is a Shift light that will fit in that other whole , autometer sent me parts i requested to come up with something and i decided to use the cobalt series guages as my "test dummy" The picture dictates what it looks like , it consist of a 2 1/16 bezel and cup that would fit just like a normal guage , 13 clear LED lights that when the Set ( by pills just like all there other shiftlights ) at a certain RPM will light up a Hyper Blue ( in this case cause its cobalt ) , this will work just like any other autometer shift light but will mount nicely inside the pod ( like shown ) ... i have been asked to get feedback and or suggestions from the public on their thought and would they buy a product like this ( what better place then dragva 
... here's the pics , thanks for all the feedback

they aren't recessed nearly as far as their current shiftlight and they're on a black background. Also, the pattern that they're in won't give the cluster affect that is really important with LEDs.
