    Is there a difference between LED/bulb shift position systems?

    My '80 GS850G came with the usual 5 lil bublbs to show gear position- I just happen to be missing the number bar that covers it - so along with a cracked tach case I started looking around for viable replacements. I wound up with an '83 GS550L gauge pod but just recently aquired an early GS gauge pod that has an LED readout for gear position....I like that one!
    My question is are the two systems interchangable...on board driver for that LED....or do they require different wiring or an added board for that LED when compared to the 5/6 bublb system?

    they all work on the same senor. You get different gear indicated with each wire is grounded. The old style numeric LCD can be replaced with very nice units off of ebay for little $$.

        LCD with front lighting from a small incandescent lamp.

        That is why they suck

          Front lighting? - yeah, I'd bet that would!
