  • "G6" on the tach

    just wondering why they didnt make it so the "G6" printed on the tach doesnt light up with the rest of the numbers. i know its a minor detail but i think it would be pimp if it did.

            I was thinking about this also. It would look sweet if the G6 letters lit up red like the rest of the instrument panel.

              It's spelled "tacH".

              It would have been a nice touch if it lit up.

                c'mon, everybody knows that GM ran out of LEDs after they did the door switches, so they didn't have enough for the mirror controls or tapshift '+' and '-'...you expect them to light up the 'G6' on the tach?

                    speaking of the tapshift + -, that would be the tits it they lit up when you threw the bitch down into tapshift, but of course not!!!!

                      It sucks when car makers are stiffs with the LEDs. Just make everything light up!

                            Very true! I was wondering about the tap shift as well.. I just thought mine was burnt out or fell out or something ( which would not have surprised me as well) but now i get it.

                              they do look sort of opaque over the + and - so I'm wondering if some led's were just put back there if they would work. Just have to tap into the power wire from the leds lighting up the shifter right next to it......hmmm
