Default Shift light...is it possible?

I was thinking it would be cool if you could program the "shift to four" or whatever it says when it lights up, to come on at a certain RPM point in each gear. Would act as a shift light, without installing any aftermarket light. Think this is possible, or even worth doing? Would be really nice if you have a higher than stk shift point, but don't have an LT4 tach.

That sounds like a good idea. But, I've yet to read of someone doing it.

I installed a Harlan shift-light in my A/C duct. I never look at the tach when racing, just look for the light.
