GEN 2 Automatic transmission consol gear change light- 2019 Raptor

[Kiwi Raptor]

Hi there,
curious to know if anyone knows how to activate the light (if there is one) in the gear shift consol that highlights what gear the transmission is in.
A little difficult to explain, but in my other car (VW Gti) the R/P/N/D/S shifter lights up with what gear you're in- the Raptor doesn't seem too.

Cheers

This has been discussed quite a few times, but the jist of it is that it’s a diy operation

That’ll get you started, and if you use the search feature you’ll be able to find a few threads on how others have made it work.

To add, the DIY options only get the indicators lit. There is no current gear indication so they are useless anyway..

Yeah...it is pretty obvious there is no indicator, just some decals added to the plastic. Nothing to light up.

Its not decals. They are translucent, Ford just quit putting the backlight behind it. People have added it back but there still isn't any use.

Thanks for everyone's responses... seems the Ford accountants did away with this in an effort to save a few $'s. My old FX4 had it and it was great- oh well, it is what it is I guess! I wonder if Dodge have theirs lit up... lol

or RAM, as dodge only makes cars, not trucks.
just being sarcastic!!

kiwi raptor:
i too also have vw gti, 2018, autobahn.
if not already familiar, check out cobb tuning in tx.
they have wonderful and reliable tunes for vw, porsche and raptor.
i have them on my raptor (2019 gen 2) and my gti.
luckily, my 911 is a gt3, so no turbo to tune.
have fun.
