Default Location of Raptor Shift Light

Where do you guys have your raptor shift light located. I did a search and did not find anything. I did find something about a dual shift light with a launch light made it to it. To bad I already have this one.

If you are pretty comfortable dissasembling your car you can remove the dash pad and install it in one of the AC vents. I don't have the raptor but I will be getting a led shift light installed in the vent.

I have seen them in the vents of a mustang but not a vette. How hard is it on a vette.

I haven't installed one like I said but once you get the dash pad off it shouldn't be two bad. Wiring will be easy with the dash pad off.

Ran mine up the stock A pillar then mounted it at the very top. Can not see it from the outside, but a great location for racing.

I have mine mounted on the A-pillar, although now that I've switched from an M6 to an A4 I'm not sure there is really a point.

I have mine mounted on the steering column in an area that doesn't cover any of the dash gauges. Look at the picture above and my Raptor is placed just about in between the 200 mph on the speedo and the DIC text.
