Did you guys know that our cars have a built in shift light? Read this: Stock Shift Light - FYI - The Mustang Collective Forums

there is no sensor or parameter in the car to get it to work is my understanding. only the GT500 has something to activate it, the idea has been covered on other boards

get a raptor for like $120 if you want a light, they work great!

Not sure where this person in the link bypassed the problem at or how, but I have encountered the same through all of our local tuners that Stkjock mentions, most stating that the pod is missing connectivity of a physical sort in wiring, not a programming parameter.

Do you guys really think that if this was possible we wouldn't know about it by now? From my understanding only the GT500 is capable of it but it is only able to be set at the highest 6,000 RPMs. It doesn't work. Like Stkjock said buy a Raptor Shift light, I love mine.

It's weak anyway, a flashing up arrow doesn't catch anyones eye. Had em in other cars, all were pointless in any sort of performance environment.

Agreed .. Besides if it will only go up to 6,000 RPMs ...

Plus I like the flexibility of adjusting my Raptor depending on the conditions of the track. Sometimes I'll lower the activation RPM if I need to short shift second due to lack of traction.

Damn, I was just asking

I use the shift lights on my Aeroforce gauges anyway, they are nice and bright, can't miss them........................
