Default Can you DIY a shift light?

If I wanted a shift light to come on at say 6K RPM can I DIY one? Is it worth the hassle or is it easier just to buy one?
Is it even possible to make one?

Thanks

I really dont think that you could make your own...I would just buy one of the Automete ones, they arent that expensive.

a $45 RPM activated switch and an LED. That's it.

if you really want to make your own RPM Switch it can be done. Not easy though.

I used my spare Summit RPM switch, and a 12V blue LED. Works great and is easy to set.
