Has anyone put any shift lights in the new stangs yet? if so , got any pics? And which shift like did you wind up putting in? Mounting location etc?

Tons of people have done it, I have mine mounted on my SOS double pillar pod. No pic on hand, but I'll get some.

Do a search there are a lot of write ups about the shift lite installs as well as the products used.

I used the raptor lite. Very nice piece.

That is the exact one I have in my car, except mine has a black housing. It hooks up JUST like the Raptor and the digital spedometer is very accurate. The LED shift lights are very bright -- there are 3 levels of brightness and the lowest level is sometimes too bright.

You can program the shift point at any RPM you want and it also comes with some other features.

I highly recommend this unit because, in plain and simple words, it's awesome.

The stock S197 instrument panel contains an icon for the factory shift light. However it appears the factory did not wire in an actual shift light because the engine calibration has settings for the shift light.

The GT500 has a factory shift light and buzzer.

Some people don't realize that there is a shift light built into these new Mustangs. It's on your RPM gauge in the middle IIRC. It is not plugged in and there is no light, but there is an outline for it. If you look at the gauge in the right light under the right angle you can see it. From what I heard when I asked on here a while ago is that it was supposed to get put in but was then ruled out and was not hooked up. Get a light for that spot and plug it in and you have a shift light without all of the extra bulky crap from an aftermarket one.

bleedingvayneAD,
got any pics of where u mounted it ?

Ford must have decontented that shift light due to the extra $0.0001 it would have cost.

Here's my install of the Raptor:

Mine is just velcro'd to the A-pillar.

Very nice

I might be the minority on this but I don't think I could live with the amount of space that takes up. Now if I was building a drag only car, different story.

I'll get a photo up tomorrow of my raptor install..

forensicsteve,

how does the shift light install? i have it but I dont know where the green wire is suppose to go ?

xtweakerx · Mar 24, 2007

ok i got i all hooked up and then it took me forever to figure out how to get he RPM's to show up properly. I tried those different settings and i finnally tried Setting ".5" the lowest one and it seems to be dead on arrcuate at that level. At setting 1 is off like 1000 rpms. But .5 seems to make it be dead on , tested rpm's and shift light it works. Now i have to go return this Tach Adapter product i bought because i thought i needed it to be able to get the rpm signal from coil pack.

Would you be able to adjust when it shifts though?

Hoboattacker · Mar 26, 2007

You could always go with www.speedofsoundllc.com 's Raptor Claw. Looks extremely clean and very well designed. I've heard nothing but good things about them.

just picked up my 07 and noticed the outline in my dash. It's not that i need a shift light but i hate to see something not functional. If someone has gotten it working i would appreciate some pictures, especially behind the dash.

Thanks!!
