FD tachometers compatible with cruise control

There is the green "CRUISE" light that goes ON when cruise control is activated.
On the other hand, I would like to know if I could fit some 99 spec tachos with 6 o'clock needle (for example) but only if it has the CRUISE light available.
Does someone know what are the tachos equipped with the "CRUISE" light?

Thanks in advance

You don't need the tach with the Cruise light for the cruise to work. I have a 99 tach in my car without it and I have an R2 that I added cruise to as well. It's never had the light and it works fine.

That's only to let you know the cruise is engaged.

Thanks! As a secondary conclusion, I understand that only the touring versions have the GREEN light.

It's on any car that came from the factory with cruise. I know all tourings had cruise but I think some of the other option packages had cruise.

Be aware, also, that the cruise control system uses the light to flash error codes.

It does? Please point me to the section where I can find out why my 94 chaste white PEG cruise isn't working!

Section Q in the work shop manual, Q10 and Q13 talks about the flashing sequence.

Not a direct answer, but a possible cause...

My cruise control troubleshooting guide -

https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...ntrol-1031871/

So far I've run into a few cases where it was the brake light switch, hands down I think that's one of the most common failure points. Basically it thinks you are pressing the brake pedal and keeps the system disengaged.
