What do the shift light install instruction say?
Usually one wire for tacho signal and one wire for the VSS output from the computer;
which you don't have

Did not buy yet , if it was just a shif light i would have no problem wiring it . Its the atvating the VSS for the launch control that I am questioning . Right now the VSS is just mounted on the trans . I do not want to buy this type of light , if I can not hook up on a Non computer controlled vehicle .Thanks

You need to look at the install instructions and see what signal they require

The Raptor unit has a single wire to pickup the VSS signal that goes from ECM to speedo ; not the speed signal from VSS to ECM ( 2 wires )
