Default shift light

I just purchased a 2008 zo6. Has anyone installed a shift light. If so, any opinions on what brand and is there a pin available to hook up the shift light?

Caddi, You will probably get more direct responses on the C6 forum but I love my Raptor shift light. Small, bright and easy to hook up. There is a link to how to hook it up under the C5 dash but I doubt that helps for your C6. Good luck!

Raptor has instructions for installing in both a C5 and C6 .... see:

http://www.raptorperformance.com/index.html

and go to INSTALLATIONS .... step by step instructions for the C5 and the differences are noted for the C6.

This may be a dumb question but doesn't the new Z06 have a shift light in the HUD like the C5 Zs?

thanks for all the responds. I did find the shift light in the hud. I would like to shift just a little sooner.

Would be nice if the entire HUD display changed color for the shift light instead of just a little un-noticable "shift".........can't see how this would have been a difficult thing for them to do when it was designed.......
