Best shift light?

[Yellow Horse]

What is the best shift light and easiest to install as far as wiring?

I've been looking on Lethal's website. I looked at a few and then googled the install. I know I can get ifo from Lethal but I hate to waste their time.

How is the install, do you come off a coil wire? Do you have to buy a module with it?

three wires, very easy, did it on my 06GT, hardest part was snaking the wire thru the firewall and up inside the engine bay

edit - found a old post of mine

I have an older model with just the single setting, I ran the main wire through the rubber grommet just behind the clutch pedal. I then split the wire wrap a bit and ran one to the COP, one to a ground and one to power.
The hardest part was getting the wire thru the grommet and and getting the wire from within the engine bay up to top to make the connections. the grommet puts the wire behind a bracket on the chassis.

You can see the red inline clips for the COP and power in this pic, I ground it just under where the strut tower brace is. The green wire is the signal wire from the COP

Thanks stkjock.

I found this:

Raptor Performance-Shift Light Install Info-Mustang 2005+ 4.6L

It's a little confusing with the "PCM" note in the instructions but I think all you need to find is a "key on" source. Looks like a piece of cake. A buddy of mine bought a 2013 GT500 a few weeks ago and he's getting it modded at by a local shop. I'm not sure if I can get my done before he has his car ready. I may have to go to a few races and watch. Looks like the Raptor will be an easy install versus my 2003. Anything with the PCM like a shift light or an Abbott Speed Cal was a nightmare.

Thanks,
Yeller

I'll be putting a green Raptor up for sale in the next day or so, if you are interested. Between the factory shift light/beep and the shift light on my Interceptor, I don't need the Raptor anymore. PM me if you are interested.

pffff... guess you don't shift higher then 6000? oke:

The last 2 Raptors I installed I didn't mess with the PCM. I did an add a fuse, used one of the grounds on the strut tower, and went directly to a coil wire. Piece of cake.

What you talking about, Willis? You can adjust the shift point warning to whatever you want.

Sorry, I ordered one a few minutes after stkjock replied.

The stock light in the cluster? That's what we are talking about.

Note: The SHIFTPOINT can be adjusted from 1,500–6,000 rpm.

Yes, that I know. FullBoogie refered to his factory light. Not a raptor.

I must be more tired than I thought.

I got my Raptor because I can't hear the factory beep at full throttle. I can barely see the shift light on my '07.

 

[fullboogie]

I may, in fact, have both adjusted to 6k. Figuring in reaction time, that would put it around 6,200 rpm shift points. Now I have to go look at my setup to see what I did...
