Guys, thanks for your help! I installed the lights on the steering column. I did all the wiring through the tachometer.

+KL.15 is the positive (pin #7)
KL.31- is the negative (pin #2)
KL.TD is the tachometer signal (pin #6)

I tested it today on a mountain drive with a few friends and it worked great! Very well visible in peripheral vision. Best part is that they somehow reflect on the windshield about 2" above the steering wheel so they're always in your line of sight

Here's a blurry dark picture of the installed lights:

Looks great! now you just need a new steering wheel

Here's what mine looks like...

it's a crappy cellphone video and since the shooting I have calibrated the iShift so that the first light starts at 3500 and the last light at 6500.

..and a big thank you to Rob aka Cupcar#12 (..and yes, I do think you should get a cut of all these sales...) and ThomasC2 also of rennlist for helping me with the wiring.

OK, Now you've done it!

Tell me what your steering wheel is and put some more pics of it up please

It's a Momo Race steering wheel.
I bought the logo horn pad on eBay and the yellow strip is a piece of suede which I wrapped around hard and glued in place.

Very nice!

I have been thinking of a Race for some time now.

How does it feel? Are you happy with it?

I bought one about two years ago and when it arrived I found that it was 320mm in dia, which is too small for me. I sold it on and will look for a 350mm soon.

What size is your momo?

Thanks for the pics and info.

Ilko-

Do you happen to have a more clear shot of exactly where your light is mounted? If you could post one, it would be much appreciated. Like you, I sit very low and mounting the light on the dash - well, I cant see it. I like where you mounted yours...I'd just like to see a closer/more clear shot of where you put it. TIA

Here's a picture of the lights with the stock steering wheel:



I upgraded to a Momo Mod .07 wheel and since it has a much smaller diameter I decided to move the lights in my line of sight:

Anyone know if this will work in a 996 GT3? Where can I buy one?
Thanks

Yes it will fit.

You can get it here: http://www.ecliptech.com.au/

Just look at the wiring schematic for your tach and wire it according to the specs.

Does anyone sell this domestically?

ilko

Not that I'm aware of, but you can always email them and ask if they have a US distributor. Are you hesitant to purchase from overseas?

Qwickrick

Problem is that their email link doesn't work on their website and I can't find a email address for them.

Let me try to locate the invoice I got from them, it may be on it. BRB
