All you need is a raptor shift light.. its run directly off the PCM.

lizzy, i was reviewing the wiring diagram thru haynes manual, where did u tap into your ignition and light switch at for yours, and i still have yet to receive the tach adapter. i see the green wire runs to the adapter but where do i have to tap into in order to get the signal for the tach to read revs?
