i was just wondering what people think about this shift light? i couldnt find any threads on it in the last year or so. i am looking at getting it or something like it, i just dont want a huge tach, not my thing.

how easy is the install?
what are some other options?

 

I don't have one but I think the Raptor is the one everybody likes. I also remember hearing it is very simple to install.

 

Do you really need that? Just from looking at the mods (or lack of) you have, i'd say save that $110 and put it towards something else. I don't even know you, but i bet you are a good enough driver so you don't really need that. Besides, go out and get the really huge TACH w/ the shift light on it. That makes everyone around you think that you're driving a 500+hp monster. . . . .. . . . . . . . . . .or at least that's what the kids around here think anyway.

 

Found this, pretty good writeup on how to install the Raptor shift light.

thanks 2Slo4u and vanquish for some helpful info...

02 ninja - sorry i dont have a lot of mods....give me time . seriously though, its only a little over 100 bucks, and i have all the basic bolt-ons for performance and am also getting my car tuned at PAS in richmond in june when i am home with it. getting some wider wheels and nittos on it and some other appearance mods as well as all the basics to make my shifts feel better (shifter, ****, cable, quadrant, adjuster) and thought this is the next logical step to help with shifts minus a new clutch/flywheel (and not including the much needed driver mod...). it will definitely be the first thing dropped from my list if need to free up some funds. thanks for your input though

 

There's no rule that states you must have a ton of horsepower to put a shift light. The raptor light is great. Small and gets the job done with different colors. Very easy to install. I think there are a couple guides on the raptor site that can help you put it in places like a/c vent or other places. Overall, its helps the drivers keep their eyes on the road which in turn will minimize the flow of wreck mustangs into the junkyard land... or blown motors...both no no's.

 

thanks cbbass. i think im goign to go with black housing and blue LED's if/when i order one. and hide it in my vent or just put it on the dash.

 

I have mine on the speed of sound gauge pillar and it looks great

 

any pictures? id love to see it

 

I'll try to snap a couple on my phone tomorrow before class
