I was thinking of the same thing with the pedal but using reed switches with a magnet. You would provide 12v to one side of the reed switch and the other side would be connected to one side of the led. The other side of the led would go to ground (you need to use 12v bulbs).

Anyway, a magnet would be placed on the rod of the gas pedal at the pivot (where the rod connects to the floor assembly) or somewhere near there. The reed switches would be attached to a flat (1/4" wide)alunimum bar located so that the magnet would pass close by each one.

Space the reed switches so that when the throttle is in the 1/3 position, it would light a green led, in the 2/3 position, it would light a yellow led, and in the full throttle position it would light a red led or you could do the colors the other way(red, yellow, green). A flat strip magnet would be best to use and would sequence each light keeping them on so that at full throttle all three lights would be on.
