Need help wiring LED shift light....
I need some direction on how to wire a LED flashlight to use as a shift light. I know it can be done, but need you guys help! I was thinking I need to run a resistor to reduce from 12v to 5v, but not really sure. I’ll hook the other wires to a relay and have the power commander multi hub control the shift points.

Works perfectly fine. I have the same setup. The hub output wires are negatives. Dont wire the negative directly to the light, use a relay. If you wire directly to it, it will flicker the light at certain times or rpm for no explainable reason. Dynojet is aware of the problem.
On the relay attach a 12v+ wire to terminal 86 with a jumper to 30. Attach the w/g output wire of the hub to 85. The 12v+ wire of your LED goes to 87 and the 12v- wire goes to a frame ground.

Kawaskijockey, The neg can go to the battery or the frame... right? Let me know if this looks right. If so, I will try this today or tomorrow.

Incorrect. The battery ground does not join to the w/g wire to the 85. The LED neg needs the frame or battery ground. The rest is correct. Redraw and post it again.
I cant host pictures to the web so I cant redo it for you or show you a pic of an alternative shiftlight that works well. Autozone sells the Pilot Hyper Blue CZ-2958 LED accent light for around $15. There are 2 in the package and each has 3 led bulbs that are very bright. All you need is one of the two and it mounts perfectly on top of the guage cluster with the double sided tape.

Be sure to post your corrected diagram here as it can help someone else in the future.
