Default Shift Indicator

I have the HUD and a 6 Speed manual transmission. I understand there is a shift indicator light that comes on when I need to shift.

Is this accurate? I never see it, anyone know when it comes on?

At 6K RPM I'm usually too busy to look for it.

It is a small "SHIFT" signal that lights up at redline within your HUD display but it's hard to catch. I installed a Raotor shift light - can't miss it.
