We have installation instructions on our website for the PEP Tach Adapter.

http://www.ponyexpressperformance.com/tachinstall.html

Read to see if you have the ability to tap 3 wires and put the box behind the PCM...

I like the shift lights from www.raptorperformance.com sleek, small, and less expensive than going the other way and they work great.

It taps into the cylinder wire located on the computer, then a ground wire, and a 12volt switch wire. That is it your done. Here is the link to the directions.

The only thing is you need coil on plug ignition. Which should be all 99+ Stangs.

Got mine from Raptor about 4-5 days after I ordered it. Probably the best $82 I spent on the car so far this year....

Very easy install!

Question about mounting the shift light in the vent...do you lose function to that vent? I guess also it would be a pain to have to take it out to change the setting. Oh well. I think i might have to pick one up sometime. Thanks

I've got an autometer dual guage pillar pod, and I think it would work well on the bottom of it, next to the defroster vent....oooohhh....

Not at all. All I have to do to change the setting is pop-off the center plastic trim piece, slide out the light, and turn the dial with a small flat-head. takes about 3 minutes. I also have a dual a pillar pod and thought about mounting the light there, but I didn't want it to be too "busy".....
