Thanks Jerry for the detailed info re the A pillar mount.
The shift light is ever so much more accurate than the analog tach, and when drag racing, ya don't have to be looking directly at it to see it in your peripheral vision - and keep ya from bouncing off not only the rev limiter, but the guard walls too!
I really like the clean cockpit look, so the hidden approach apeals to me. Your mileage may vary. AND, the popular AC vent installation looks like this
...
(Note: there are acutally six (or so) leds and on start-up the light says "hello" by turning them on and off in a circular pattern for a second or so. The camera only caught a couple, but when the time comes, all come on, and even in daylight you will not miss it. In fact, I have mine intentionally aimed toward my right eye. As you can see, ya miss it!)
The Raptor is only 3/4" in diameter, and can easily be inserted through a hole drilled in the plastic. Plastic tape is wrapped around the barrel of the lite to generate the desired fit.
Referring to the FSM, the C100 connector is where the white tack wire can be intercepted. You'll have to remove the hush panel to see the connector, located about 2" from your big (left) toe (while driving).
To fische the wires down there,
after disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery...
very important...you can use a coat hanger wire to snake down to where you can grab it, and tape the Rapor wires to the other end, you can them pull the wiring down to the footwell area and splice them.
