shift lights?

What shift lights are you guys using? Is anyone using one with the factory electric tach and an MSD box? There is only one tach output on the MSD box, can I piggyback the tach and the shiftlight off the same terminal?

Anyone have pics of their install?

Thanks,

Mark, the Auto Meter seems to work fine. Nothing complicated about it. Don't remember EXACTLY what wires go where, but it took no-time to hook it up. Directions are very simple.

I (and a lot of C5 and Viper guys) use Raptor. I like it becasue it's small so you can squeeze it into more places. LEDs are bright.

I like the bigger ones like the Autometers, I had a smaller light built into the tach and I would miss it just not bright enough

Raptor here,

. Here is a link

http://www.raptorperformance.com/

Adjustable, easy mount have mine attached by twi sided tape on the A pillar, sleek...

The system adjust be two small radial dials in the side cylidrical face. One switch for 1000's and one for 100's if I remember correctly. I have not adjust mine in 9 months. Just need to remember to carry a very small flat head screw driver.
