I like a progressive shift light. Instead of just a flash when you need to shift, the progressive shift light gives you info about where you are in your power band, and gives you a lead as to when your shift point is coming up.

I used to have this:

But if I get another one I think it's going to be this one:

The Autometer is a progressive shift light. As for the one in the Hud, the point was not to have to take my eyes off the track while racing.

But both cool options Bob.

Search YouTube for "loud corvette shift light demo"

The video shows the ecliptech mounted so that it reflects off the windshield, might be easier to see than the one in the HUD.
