Since your car is black, i'd also say red.

Do you have any color accents on your car? IE: red calipers, interior stitching, etc... I say if you've got anything like that, go with that color

I have a yellow one but thinking of switching to blue. Red is usually chosen for a warning light (oil pressure, etc...) but I think its fine if it`s your only aftermarket light.

Thanks for the input guys, i think im going to go with blue since that is my accent color for the vehicle and i have the cobalt gauges in the pods. I was concerned with blue being too bright, but i guess perception-wise the red and the blue are roughly the same intensity.

I have a blue raptor. love it.
I have blue but that's because i changed all my interior bulbs to blue LEDs. not that the light comes on a lot (have it set at 6000).
BTW raptor has an amazing customer support. Wouldn't buy any other shiftlight.
