Default I need shift light options

I am about to install a dual pillar pod in my 99 FRC, and would also like to install a shift light. If anyone has any suggestions, or better yet pictures, I would really appreciate it.

thanks in advance,
brad

Raptor and Harlan are the two most popular here. I went with the Raptor because of small size, several LED colors available, ease of installation and adjustment and quality. I mounted mine in my upper A-pillar but, with a dual gauge pod, you can mount it in with the gauges. I've seen that done and it's a sweet setup. Below are a few pics of my install and a link to the sites to buy the lights at. I also included a link to Flyin'Brian's thread about hooking it up on the driver's side under the dash.

Harlan Shift Light

Btw, I designed and fabbed up a custom bracket for the Harlan for a couple of buddies with that brand light because they didn't like the Harlan bracket. I based it on my Raptor bracket. The Harlan might be too large to mount in the gauge pod like the Raptor. I've seen it mounted several different places including the center A/C vent. It's a pain to get it in there though.

Best of luck with the install.
