Default Added Auto Meter DPSS shift light
I finally got my Auto Meter DPSS shift light installed. I mounted it directly above the column and moved the Wideband O2 gauge down next to the wiper switch. I wasn't excited about cutting a 2" hole for the wideband, but it went without issue.

While I had the dash out, I made a harness that hooks up to the wideband O2 output and hooked it up to my EFI Live and can datalog the AFR. Pretty slick.

The DPSS is programmable (RPM, launch help, and color) and hooks up to the tach for 90 seconds of playback. Here's what it looks like when the shift light comes on (you can set the intensity for day and night)

EFI Live is amazing software and I'm having a lot of fun with it. I got the calc_pid.txt setup for the conversion of the 0-4v output of the Auto Meter wideband to show as AFR, but it took a bit of looking before I realized I had to use the EXT.AD1 PID for it to update/display on the dashboard and data tabs.

Nice setup! Looks like you have a good clear view of the gauges and the shift light is sick!

Very cool...the last thing you want is a big ugly light stuck on top of the dash.

I like your DSE panel setup the best!

Agreed that it looks a lot cleaner mounted in the dash instead of sticking out attached to something. I really like the way it lights up at night.

Love the way it all turned out Scott!!
This might sound weird...but does it come with a cover like the standard shift lights...for street driving?
