Default Shift light install

OK I have this really cool programable shift light that I want to install in my Xb. I would be more than happy to do a write up on the install with pics, however I have one problem. Where is the tach lead wire behind the gauge cluster? Which color wire is it?

Thanks all.

why because you don't have to run a tach wire from the engine bay? good luck with your install and don't forget to snap a few pics!

all you need is a ground, ignition and tach wire for a shift light or an external tach and you can get the wire colors from the tech page here from SL.
