Not very helpful, but..

What's wrong with a) looking at the rev counter, or, b) listening to the engine

could just stick it to the ignition live on any of the dash stuff, eg the headunit.

But seriously, WHY have you bought a shift light?

When you get to 7k stop, but seriously, its best to just change gear about 5-6k, not redline it.
