Default where is the engine speed wire? shift light install

I just bought a raptor shift light for my 2001 z28 m6.


I was wondering which wire is the engine speed wire, under the dash board that I splice into?


yeah raptors website, says which pin and the color but where is at under the dash!

You cannot splice into the wire going to the factoy tach in/under the dash. You have to tap into the PCM under the hood. You have to tap into the white wire coming from PIN #10.
