How To: Shift Light Mod

[tcam]

This is a Raptor Performance shift lighthttp://raptorperformance.com/about $85 shipped. Great Product It's extremely helpful and much safer to have when racing or even just day-to-day driving.Install:First of all, for the wires coming out of the shift light: green=tach feed, red=12v source, black=ground source. I will explain where these go later.Step 1: Disconnect BatteryStep 2: Dissasemble dash pieces-Begin with popping out the middle control knob and then removing the screw.-Pull out on upper trim. There is no need to fully remove it however.-Unsrew your shift knob, and then remove all of lower trim starting at the bottom lip. Unplug all four plugs connected to the back of trim.-Move to the upper dash, and pull directly out on the gauge cluster trim.-Remove gauge cluster first by removing the screw at the top and then popping it out from its two holders at the bottom. Also, unplug it from the plug at top left to fully remove the gauge cluster.Step 3: Wiring-Start by placing the shift light on top of dash, and then feed the chord down through the small area between the dash and the a-pillar.-Tap into the lighter to use as your 12v source and your ground source. I recommend using "Tap Splice Connectors". But soldering the wires is always a good way to go.-Locate Pin #27 in plug to the gauge cluster. It should be a solid black wire. You will need to remove a lot of the tape and then tap into it.-Plug everything back in, and organize excess chord from shift light if needed.Step 4: Complete Installion-Re-install of the dash pieces.-Set the shift light at desired settings.-Mount the shift light using either 3m Double-Stick Tape, or screwing it into the dash. (better to use the tape ) lol-Connect battery-Test 'er out, and your good to go phew, I'm pretty sure that was everything Overall, I would rate the install difficulty as 2 out of 10 (10 being the hardest). It was not that bad and it took me only 1.5 hours I think. Maybe less Here is the final productSorry about the blurriness
