Default Sequential shift light?

Anyone running a sequential shift light? If so, which one and how do you like it.
Thanks in advance.

got it from LGM and it works great! It is a very nice and you soon become unaware you are using it. Worth every penny.

I have the LG light also. It works great and really adds to your information/data input while your driving on the track. I have it directly on top of my dash so that it is in my vision and it really helps to get the most out of the car.
I do not have any pictures.

Only gages I look at are oil temp and pressuer. SHifting is done by the sound of the engine

I have a regular shift light and find that very handy at the track.

I just started looking at sequential shift lights and think that would give even more information then what the single light gives.

The factory shift light works good enough for me.

Seriously? I can hardly see that when I'm driving down the road, leave alone racing!

Not sequential, but I set my shift light 200 rpm under the fuel cutoff.
I find I'm usually starting to shift just when the light comes on.

I have a G Tec R and it has a sequental light that is really handy. Im looking to mount one permanent though. Ill have to call LG.

I do bump the rev limit now and then. If i was to do it by the sound of the motor i would do it all the time. The sequental lets me know as i enter the shift zone, and if i want to shift early i shift when light one comes on.
