Default (RAPTOR) shift light problem, need help

Well i just went to install the shift light about 2 hours ago and guess what i ran into a problem haha. Now it very well be mine though. I have a 99 formula for starters. I hooked the ground to the side of the computer,the red to the blue #19 pink wire, and the grn tach wire to the red #10 white wire. I set the light to the coil pack setting (all the little switches down). Well i turned the key on it blinked 6 times for 6k, then blinked 4 times for 4 hundred, then blinked all lights once for the coil setting. Well the shift light started coming on at 1500 rpms. So i figured it was supposed to be set like i received it then. So i turned to car off set the #1 switch to the up position, let it reset it self then took it out again. Wouldnt light up at all except when you first turn the key on. I tryed loweing the light down to 6k and still wont work. So RAPTOR if you had any info i would appreciate it. like am i hooking the green tach wire to the wrong one under the hood or what. Cant get on LS1 info so that doesnt help me at all. THANKS in advance.

Make sure you have it set to 4 cylinder. Might want to check your connections too. If all the LED's arent lighting up then its not going off, its turning on (because it apparently lost power for a second. Mine did this when a wire wasnt connected good)

A LS1 tach signal (white wire) is a 90 degree square wave> i.e. a 4 cylinder RPM signal.
Sideways hit it on I think you have it set wrong....

Got it to work and it works great, of coarse it was me being an ahole and skipping over the operating instructions on his site. Thanks everyone for the replys. Deffinitly recommend it to anyone. I got the blue led's well worth it if you have a blue car.

I want one, wish they were a little cheaper. Where did you mount your light flexy?
