How To: Shiftlight-in-tach mod (R53)

So for anyone out there who's been wondering what's involved in adding a shiftlight (specifically the RevLight) in your tach, I've written up a guide. Use at your own risk.

click on pic to take you to PDF (I didn't want to use up my allocated space on NAM)
..

And if you want to see this in action, do a search on YouTube for "mini cooper shift light" others have posted videos that this How-To recreates.

-edit: if pic/link doesnt appear, go here.
