Default Dual Raptor shift lights?

Anyone have dual lights? I have one now, but thinking about adding another for my lauch RPM. I'm wondering if you can just splice the two together. Anyone done this?

I hope I'm not making this announcement public to the world....

But, I am the one personally testing the new Raptor Light for the C5 Corvette's...

I'm not sure if the details have been released or not, but it's coming out at Christmas and has a launch function built into the new design...

I need to call Rick over at Raptor, but if he will let me, I will post up pics and videos...

Basically, you program your launch RPM....When you hit the Launch RPM, the light lights up, letting you focus on the track. If you go +/- 200 RPM (My Settings, you can select) the light blinks at you..

The new design features an extra wire, (Speed Sensor Wire), which lets the Raptor know when to switch to the Shift Function.

Like I said, let me speak with him before making any more info public....

They should be ready soon. I was talking to Rick about them a few weeks ago and just the other day. They are close.

I wish I could see a pic of the light. I'm considering one, just not sure which one yet.
