Default shift light

i need a shift light, but i don't need the tach... Also, i need a small one. One that can mount to the dash with velcro. I do not want to put holes in my dash.

Any info will be appreceated.

The raptor is the only way to go. You can come up sometime and check mine out if you want. I have it mounted in the cluster, at the very top center. I mounted it with a screw, its not a very obvious one, but you could mount it with velcro if you wanted to.

Will it tie into my factory tach? Also, how much are they.

Its around 100 bucks, you can order it from the link that 2k1gt gave you, that is www.raptorperformance.com

You run the wire down to the ECU in the passgenger side kick panel, and then hook it up to GND, +12v, and one of the COP wires that comes out of the ECU. The raptor page has instructions on what wire to use, its pretty easy to install.

I just pulled my cluster bezel out, snaked a straigtened coat hanger over to the passgeger side, and pulled the wire thru. The hardest part was taking apart all that plastic crap over the ECU housing, getting it out, and getting it back in with all the bolts intact. Its a straightforward and easy install.

The raptor has switches so you can set the RPM you want it to come on at etc.. really its the sweetest "all in one" shift light out there.
