Default a new install for me

Well I got my "Raptor Preformance" shift light in the mail today, so Im gonna go install it. It is a lot smaller than I thought it would be.
Im going to mount it above the gauges on the bottom side of the gauge bezel.
Ill try to get pics up tonight, I should get it done today.

Before

Minor mod for the wire, the black mark is were the screw went.

Installed

A little light from it

More along the lines of what it actually looks like lit up

well I have it set at 5400rpms right now, but if its too bright, it came with a couple lens covers to dim it down a bit. Yeah they advertise it being something like 14,000 millicandels total, 3000 per LED

I usually dont, but its been smelling funny when I shift up around 6gs, I know its just the PS pump, but still it will help me save my engine. I'll probably bump it up later.

yeah I only smell something after I give the car a heavy load by running it up to around 6000rpms.
The thing is that there isnt a drop of oil on the exhaust, but there is on the k member and the side of the block behind and below the PS pump.

Thanks 91lxstang
