I had no trouble and bought mine off of CSLEDD. She could not get it to work on her car.

Ha ha....actually, I don't know if PURESTANG is a guy or girl, but thought he was a he......if this even matters.

csledd is a member here...one of our moderators. Her name is really Christie and is a she.

She could not get the shift light to work correctly. It caused here SES to activate for some reason.

I did not experience the same problems.

You need to splice the shift light wiring right into wires going to the ECU. Do a search on the Raptor and you will find all kinds of posts about it...including photos of installs.

well.. I did sale mine, and shortly after I wanted to try it again and make it work. So I bought another one, looked at the install instructions on the site.. and noticed something they added. It says not to use the blue clips (which I used on the previous light) and instead to use the red ones. I used the red ones and no SES, hooked it up the same exact way as my original light that tripped the SES light. So I blame it all on the lower gauge clips (use 22, not 18). Other than that I love my shift light and would recommend it to anyone.! It's very bright and noticeable.

Oh, and it helped me diagnose a problem with my COP rubber boots

I have mine mounted just like Christies, but I used the screw on the left side of the pod instead of the right as she did.

I like it on the left better because it points more directly at the driver.
