Default Harlan ShiftLight installed!

Boy is this thing pimpy. I have had others before in different cars and my brothers have them in their F-bodies and they work flawlessly. I got the blue LEDs to match the colors of the lights inside my car. It's very indiscrete...


So sweet.....


They're normally $45 but the blue LEDs are a $20 option, so $70 shipped for a fully adjustable to any RPM light. Get em' here: http://www.harlan-engineering.com

Thanks, racer44.
I used some wax/tar/grease remover and wiped down the A-Pillar and affixed the light to it with some double sided tape. It's really easy to install ;)

Did somebody say Harlan shift light? :D

I got red, because it has the least affect on your night vision. I might move mine, because its kind of hard to see during the day being so far off to the side.

TIA!

I'm :mad on Mathew Harlan( http://harlan.sketchy.net/store/store.html ). I payed him $50 September last year for a shiftlight. Nothing happened, January 8 this year I emailed him and asked what was going on. His reply was quoting "I will go back and check, I thought that it had been shipped out months ago". After that reply nothing happened. I sent a new email February 11 asking him to repay my $50 if he could not ship. Still no reply and he have not payed me back.
Now it's September 25, still no reply or money back.

I would say, watch out when doing business with him.

Seanr, your case is definately the very FIRST I have heard of ANYONE not done right by Harlan. Make a post on LS1Tech.com paging him in the Forced Induction section. He WILL reply. He's at least 2.5 weeks behind on e-mail. However there's no excuse for this sort of a delay :(

The only install tip needed is that you need to tap into the PCM Tach Wire, it's a white wire PIN # 10 on the plug CLOSEST to the passenger footwell. However, a fellow forum member posted a different location you could also tap into the wire in the passenger footwell in this post:http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=380488&postid=3952378#3952 378
