Raptor Shift Light Installed - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

SamHouseIII · 02-16-2013, 06:44 PM

Only 3 wires to hook up, I srtipped back the wires on both ends.

Ran my light side wire through the side and then let it hang.

For the wiring, Connect Green to Green direct.

Ground (black) together into barrel crimp connector and then a single ground from the other end to the ground (i used the nearby bolt)

Hot Wire (red) together into barrel crimp connector and then a single hot wire from the other end to the fuse shown.

Program light and test. (you have 4 shift RPMs, # of cylinders (SET TO 1), and LEDs intesnity)

I set the setting to only 2000 RPMs (lowest you can go) to test it.

That's all there is to it.

Replace all your panels, covers and strut tower brace.

Drive car and enjoy.

Nicely done!

Looks like a good install. Did the tach pickup come with the light?

Does the MSD have a LAUNCH function like a few of the others out there?
Looked at their site and I don't see a mention of it.

it looks like you have a bright flashlight in your face.

Only functions that I know of are you can program each gear and rev limit for the light to come on.

I had contacted them about the connectors....I got the answer back after I bought the MSD one, might go back to the Raptor....But here is the link for the wires on the ZL1..

I need one on my Z28. The ZL1 comes with a shift lite so I need that on the Z28

The Raptor is so much brighter, the best for the bright sun!!

In fact I just ordered the Raptor Dual Mode, Blue LED again, I'll move the MSD to the Sonic!! I just hope they really did update the wiring instructions for it..

Skylane765 · 06-10-2014, 11:19 PM

Looks like the Raptor is for me, but the wiring instructions are not for the Camaro LS7 only LSA. Maybe the corvette wiring will work?
