Installing a Shift Light?

[JET30X]

Hey guys,

Recently picked up a shift light off ebay and was wondering if anyone has experience installing one on a 1996 mx3?

this is the shift light-


this is what the item says -
Simple 3 wire hookup which is;
1. - 12v Ignition lead
2. - Ground lead
3. Green wire to connect to the coil or;
electronic module depending on what ignition you have.

but yeah im really new and newb....help

1) Connect to any source that has +12 volts only when the igntion is on (ignition wire in ignition harness, ignition swithced slot from fuse box, radio ignition wire, etc).

2) Connect to any metal part of the vehicle chasis.

3) This wire needs to sense the tach voltage. This is an A/C signal that tells the tachometer how fast the engine is rotating, based on the frequency of the signal. You can get a tach signal at one of the harnesses going to the distributor. Should be a yellow/blue wire, in black plastic wire loom.

It'll help a lot to have a test light. I believe everybody should have one.
