RE: Raptor Shift Light
it is set to illuminate at a certain rpm... so it will go at like say 5500rpms if you set it at that... and only when you hit that rpm... i am really thinking of getting one of these shift lights.. not sure if it will bug me to much though seeing it all the time.. haha.

RE: Raptor Shift Light
I have a Raptor and love it.It's small enough to not be noticeable on the steering column and bright enough to be seen in bright sunlight.
I bought mine after hitting the rev limiter twice in the dark trying to watch the tach.Watch the tach or the road,you can't do both while rapidly increasing your speed.

I have a question, so if ur accelerating normally how does it know when or does it even illuminate? Normally i shift at about 2k so would it illuminate in town?

RE: Raptor Shift Light
I've had mine for about 2 months now and I love it. I placed mine on the A-pillar just above eye height. It is out of the way, you can't see it unless you are looking for it, but when it lights up, watch out! Here's a pic.

THANKS for the write up link

I've had one for about 6 months or so -- it's definately a top notch product. I really like it's size and the fact that I was able to place it behind the a/c vent and out of the way. (Similar to the install in the FordMuscle write-up)
Good write-up here if you haven't already seen it.

RE: Raptor Shift Light
i love mine. there are two screws on top. one is for x1000 rpm and one is for x100 rpm. you can set it within hundred rpms of where you want it to go off. i have mine on my steering colum. super easy install. you just have to have small hands and know the basics of wireing if any. the directions they give on the site are real helpful also. i want to get teh speed of sound guage pods so i can mount min in there. itll look sick. if you need to know anything else just ask. or if you want a vid or somthing. hears a pic.
