Thumbs up Raptor shift light installed!

I got it in and it's working.

It would not freaking work for about an hour and I could not figure out why. It ended up that I had the dials wrong. I had it set for 4100 RPM instead of 1400 RPM. I kept taking it to 2K in my garage and it wouldn't come on.

Anyway, I went with the red LED and it looks cool so far. I have it set for 3200 so I can see it tomorrow morning on the way to work on all my shifts.

I am going to take pictures tonight, but I mounted the clip on the plastic ring where the steering column meets the dashboard. I had to use a very small screw so it would clear the column when I tilt the wheel. I was going to use the vent or the a-pillar, but this is directly in my line of sight and it is very easy to get to to make adjustments.

Post some pics when you can, I have mine on the pillar but it looks a little out of place there, and I dont really like the A/C vent thing.

Here is one with the cover on. It's a little blurry, but you get the idea.

I mounted mine a little below and to the right of the SES light, right where the security light is above the odomter. It doesn't interfere with anything and is very viewable. Great spot.
