Raptor Shift Lite Installed
So here I am, almost half way through my life on earth, never been addicted to anything: booze, drugs, sex (well maybe sex). I buy a Mustang and what happens? Damned if I'm not addicted.
If my wife had only known the 26K to buy the darn thing was only the beginning. I'm just getting hooked and can for see many more mods to come. The 4th mod is a Raptor shift light. Imagine paying 130 some dollars for a little lite (+ mount)that tells me to do an upshift. For crying out loud what a waste of money...or so I thought before this addiction took hold.
At any rate, I purchased the Raptor Shift lite (red) and "cyclops" mount from PMP (PMPparts.com) after reading TacoBills most excellent instructions and viewing his videos.
Pretty slick little unit, works perfectly. Only thing missing as I approach red line and the LEDs lite up is Scotty's voice "Capatin, she can't take anymore". Mounting the unit in the 12V receptical of the center console is a little odd, its not in my line of vision. But the lites are so bright that my peripheral can pick it up easily and it looks sweet, all chrome to match the IUP.
The install was pretty simple but had a couple steps that were a pain in the ***(feeding the green coil wire through the firewall and figuring out which wire around the Shaker head was the 12v, had to find a wiring diagram via Google).
