Default HUD Question...

Does anyone know how to cause the shift light to appear on the HUD when shifting? I've tried scrolling through the pages,but no luck! Please help.

Try shifting at the redline Generally, that will do it

When you first turn the key for the gauge sweep watch the top central area of the HUD when all the displays are lit up...it's there...but don't blink or you're liable to miss it.

Within a few rpms of redline will do it.

I tried using the light, and found it worthless. It doesn't stand out enough. If you stare @ the spot on the HUD, you are not watching the road.
