Perhaps the ultimate DIY shift light!

I ran across a quantity of high-brightness LED cluster modules, removed from a digital electronic sign. They're pretty neat, IMHO!
They are dual color- they feature a cluster of red and green/yellow high brightness LEDs.
The cluster is designed to run off of 12V directly, and has 3 wires coming out: white is +12v, red is ground for the RED cluster, and green is the ground for the green/yellow cluster.
It almost seems as if it was designed for the MJLJ- you just wire the white lead to 12V and send the ground connections to the MJLJ shift light/user output.
Possible uses, depending how you configure the user outputs:
1. Make a 2 stage shift light- have one color driven by the shift light output, and use one of the user outputs configured as "RPM" for the other color.
2. for turbo applications: use one color for 'shift' and the other color for "overboost" or "peak boost" warning (that's what I'll be doing!)
The unit is about 1" (25mm) across, and has a center mounting bolt on the rear. They are in used condition and may be a bit dirty or scuffed up. They will be tested before being sent out.
See the attached pictures!
I'll be making these available for $5 USD in the online store store- for those of you in the UK/Europe who are interested, you might want to organize a group buy to save money on shipping.
