VTEC light problems

So I've searched and searched and searched and read too many threads. Now, I have tried every possible combination of wiring and resistors and LEDs...for some reason, I can't get this VTEC light to work. Any ideas?

...this was supposed to be easy.

Re: VTEC light problems

just give up, its a useless mod anyway. it comes on around 3k rpms and stays on above that. serves no purpose at all. and doesnt even tell you when vtec is actually engaged, which only happens at 4500 rpm with gas at full throttle.

ahahahahah ohhhh

but srrsslyy
steve is right. there is no point. it turns on right away and stays on till you stop. you will never get the rpms low enough while you are driving for it ever to shut off.
