Took the guts out of one of these and mounted it inside my gauge hood.

Pretty much any modern unit that's designed to sense a tachometer signal will work. On the 1.6 Miatas, the tach signal is produced at the igniter (mounted near the passenger's side shock tower) on a black/white wire, which goes up to the instrument cluster on a yellow/blue wire. It's a 0-12v squarewave.

Depends on year. '94-'95.5, tach signal comes from both coils (in parallel) on a blk / wht wire. After that, it comes from the ECU, black/white @ 4L through '97, then grn / org @ 2K for '99-00, grn / org @ 3) for '01-'05
That's because the Useful Posts section is only for Useful Posts.
Knock on an '01 is a white wire @ 4M, with a shield around it.
BTW, what the **** is that thing in your avatar? Seriously, it looks like somebody stuck googly eyes on a mutilated hand. It actually kinda creeps me out.
Also need the knock sensor wire color. I saw the manuals in the "useful posts" section here but there's no 01+ :(

Hopefully for the led lights, that could help. I lack the electronic knowledge to fully understand whats going on, but I will attempt it. I think it would be cool to drill holes for those in the edge of the gauge bezel right above the steering wheel.

I don't have it yet, but I've been kicking around picking up an Eclipsetech Shift-I for a while. You can adjust a lot of things on it (start/end rpm, how the lights light up, etc.) but it's a little pricey at $170 which is why I don't have one yet.

If you just need a simple 1 light one, you can use an RPM activated switch and wire it to a light. Just be careful shopping around because the MSD ones require interchangeable pills that aren't cheap.

I'm using the Gizzmo carbon fiber shift light. It's nice and compact but still bright enough to see. Really easy to install.
