light up sho in dash

[rpmshotimeeh]

i was trying to figure out the other day how i can get the sho in the dash o light up...i bought 3 red leds however i cant figure out how to power them to light up and work. i know a bunch of you have done this so i figured you guys could help me out. i was thinking i could run it off the fog light switch so it is on only when the fog lights are on however i popped out the piece but there is no room behind it so i have no idea how to do this and i dont want a wire hanging out of it so idk what to do...thanks guys

Theres actually a really good rightup on how to do this...Im not sure where it is but the light will come on when the secondaries open up......now thats what I call cool...

I think Dr. Evil did this in his SHO, maybe send him a pm or something.

Don't use light bulbs, theres a sensor in there and the heat from a lightbulb will screw up the readings.

On a side note, where can I hook it up so that it'll turn on whenever the parking lights are on?

I would be intrested in it lighting up when the secondarys open that would be pretty cool. Does anybody know where the write up on that would be?

Thanks

Lighted SHO

Found the old thread. Pics dont come up with the instructions though. Perhaps Dr. Evil will repost them. Cool idea.

I would like to take this chance to give a round of applause to SHOoff. I browsed that thread a long time ago, and read his quip little comment at the end. Upon reading it again tonight, I was incapacitated with laughter. So much so, that I brought my whole family over to read the thread. Good golly, that was funny. I use duct tape for everything around the house - even to seal a crack the main sewage line OUT of the basement. Just once more, nicely done. Nicely done.

Ahh. Matt

Here's a bad picture of mine. I poped mine out and glued 2 blue leds to the back of it. Wired it up to my ash try light. So that it comes on with when I turn on my parking lights. And then I painted it ford blue to match the rest of my interior.
