I thought they all had one right from the factory. I know my 90 does so I imagine the later years do as well.

thanx for the reply but my baby has no shift light :cry

Do you have an aftermarket chip? I believe the ones from Doug Rippie (maybe others too) disable the shift light. If so I think it can be programmed back in. It just seems like a pain to install something that is already there.

Good Luck,
Mike.

I'm not sure there is a "best", but I installed a Harlan Shift light in the upper air vent as youmention. It uses the stock tach output, therefore there is not a need for an MSD unit etc as you mention.

Raptor owns! :yesnod: I think it's definitely one of the smallest and most well designed lites on the market. High quality & good looks to boot!

The factory shift light is for fuel economy ( :lolg: ). The shift light being referred to here is for racing.

The Lurker

You can program the factory shift light to come on anytime you like.

DDSLT5

Reread you owner's manual. It is not for economy. The factory shift light is programmed to illuminate for shifts maxmizing performance, NOT fuel economy. This is not a Cavalier.

I actually got the idea to install the shift light in the air vent from a guy on the Grand Sport forum. He had installation pictures and tips on the whole process. I will try to see if the site info is still available. If not, I can take a picture of my after installed unit and some tips. There is a white wire that comes from the ignition system under the plenum that is the tach feed wire. Ground wire was taken from ground source under the dash.

Interesting.

Doh! :lol: I was confusing it with the shift light on my '89 L98. That definitely was an economy thing.

1990 QUASAR BLUE

Yeah, I get my best fuel economy at 6,000 rpm's. :jester I have also noticed it come on while cruising in 5th for too long on the highway. I think that would be for fuel economy so I think it actually serves as both.

The 95's shift light does not illuminate from the factory. The only light that does for shifting is the d@mn 1-4 skip light.

1990 QUASAR BLUE

Demps, so the 95s come with the shift light but it just doesn't illuminate. What the hell were they thinking on that one?

Thanks,
Mike.

I've never seen the shift light iluminate on my 94 either and I've bumped the rev limiter a time or two. :lol:
